________________ This is not the case with Indian philosophical systems. Every Tridian philesophical system is connected in some way or other with their respective religion which is interwoven in the daily life of the common followers of that system. Tuis type of interweaving of religion and philosophy is responsible to some extent for certain type of behaviour in the daily life of the different followers of different religious sccts of our country. This intermingling does sometimes create confusion among the people to know as to which is the right path of the religion. The interesting example of such confusion is cited in the MBH as follows : 2 कि स्विदेवेह धर्माणामनुष्टेयतमं स्मृतम् । व्याहतामिव पश्यामो धर्मस्य विविधां मतिम् ॥१४॥ ऊछ देहातवन्त्येके नतदस्तोति चापरे । केचित्संशयितं. सर्व निःसंशयमथापरे ॥१५॥ अनित्यं नित्यमित्येके नास्त्यस्तोत्यपि चापरे। .. एकरूपं द्विधेत्येके व्यामिश्रमिति चापरे । एकमेके पृथक् चान्ये बहुत्वमिति चापरे ॥१६॥ मन्यन्ते ब्राह्मणा एवं प्राज्ञास्तत्त्वार्थदशिनः । जटाजिनधराश्चान्ये मुण्डाः केचिदसंवृताः ॥१७॥ अस्नान केचिदिच्छन्ति स्नानमित्यपि चापरे । आहारं केचिदिच्छन्ति केचिच्चानशने रताः ॥१८॥ कम केचित्प्रशसन्ति प्रशान्तिमपि चापरे । देशकालावुभौ केचिन्नतदस्तीति चापरे । केचिन्मोक्ष प्रशंसन्ति केचिन्भोगान्पृथग्विधान् ॥१६॥ MBH. R.Q.R.I. edition. Asvamedhika Parva. Adhayaya 48 Verse No. 14-24.
