Parikṣāmukham
शब्दानुच्चारणेऽपि स्वस्यानुभवनमर्थवत् ॥ १० ॥
10. Śabdānuchchāraṇehpi svasyānubhavanamarthavat.
10. Just as in the case of objects, there is understanding of itself (the knowledge) without utterance of the word (signifying
it ).
Commentary
It is our everyday knowledge that though the word "pitcher" is not uttered, we can have experience of a pitcher. So we can have experience of the knowledge itself though no word signifying knowledge is uttered. This is urged to meet the view of those who say that there can be no experience without the help of words. It cannot be urged that as there is no use of the word 'knowledge' in an experience of an object, the knowledge cannot become its own object; for we see that even when the word 'pitcher' is not uttered we can have experience of a pitcher.
को वा तत्प्रतिभासिनमर्थमध्यक्षमिच्छंस्तदेव तथा नेच्छेत् ॥ ११॥
11. Ko vā tatpratibhāsinamarthamadhyaksamichchhamstadeva tatha nechchhet.
11. Who does not accept it ( i. e. knowledge) to be of that manner ( i. e. being the subject - matter of experience ) when one admits that in Pratyakṣa the object is illumined by knowledge?
प्रदीपवत् ॥ १२ ॥
12. Pradipavat.
12. Like a lamp.
