while arguiog with a Sārkhya, a Buddhist taking his stand on such a proposition as 'Sound is perisbable, (hte: ez a raraît a stat) The predicate in urma Paramit is denied by the Sāmkhya. (rather, Mimārsaka) Dr. Satischandra Vidyabhūṣaṇa rightly observes: "Sound is a subject wellknown to the Mîmwāsaka, bat not to the Sārkhya."-I would slightly change the language and say that sound is imperishable is a wellknown doctrine of the Mimātisaka,

while arguing with a Buddhist, a Sārnkhya taking his stand on such a proposition as 'A self or ego is spiritual' (FIENFTA ala aaa erralt'). The existence of the subject -viz. akhl--is denied by the Buddhist. Dr. Vidyābhūsana calls (0) 'a thesis of an unfamiliar minor term', and (7) 'a thesis of an unfamiliar major term', the illustrations given being the same as above. This is obviously a slip ; the words 'minor' and 'major should

In principle, this agrees with the example of our text, '17: 17997 fa' But T' of Principal Vidhus'ekhera Bhattacharya reads 'qe efica fa.' This is the opposite of Dr. Vidyabhūyana's illustration
