________________ 18 TATTVA-KAUMUDĪ [XI The kinds of temperaments observed in living beings may broadly be divided into three spiritual, passionate and dull. Therefore, the site theory of three gors, although a mere hypothesis, is yet a very useful and appropriate hypothesis. Davies remarks-" In the system of Valentinus the Gnostic, all men and all substances are divided into three classes : (1) spiritual, (2) the vital and (3) the material ( Hylic). This corresponds to the गुणs of कपिल and is probably an importation from India." (p. 37, 2n. ) fang:-The view.point of the faranga area is that there is no existence of the external objects, except in mind. That is, concept and the object denoted by the concept are identical, because both are comprehended simultaneously. Things, which are not identical, are not necessarily comprehended simultaneously;"cf. 'सहोपलम्भानियमादभेदो नीलतद्धियोः। भेदश्च भ्रान्ति. विज्ञानदृश्यतेन्दाविवाद्वये॥ (सर्वदर्शन०,p. 32), वाचस्पति's refutation of this view has been thus illucidated by बालराम यत्र किलैकस्मिन्नेव योषिपे वस्तुनि रक्तद्विष्टविमूढानां जनानां विभिन्नानि मुखादिज्ञानानि जायमानान्युपलभ्यन्ते तत्र प्रमातृणां परस्परप्रतिसन्धानाद् वस्त्वैक्येऽपि ज्ञाननानात्वं दृश्यते । यदि हि वस्तु विज्ञानात्मकं भवेत् तर्हि विज्ञानस्यासाधारण्यादनेकविज्ञानालम्बनमेकं साधारणं वस्तु म सम्भवत् । अतः वस्तुसाधारण्योपपत्तये विज्ञानातिरिक्तं तदभ्युपेयमिति । (p. 128 ). अचेतनम्-बुद्धि ( intellect ) is merely an instrument of Pure Intelligence or चेतन्य, and not identical with it, because बुद्धि 1s a material product of प्रकृति. The phrase तद्विपरीतस्तथा च पुमान् means that in some respects the Spirit is similar to guth and stout, and in other respect it is different from व्यक्त and अध्यक्त. Difference of पुरुष from व्यक्त and अव्यक्तव्यक्त and अव्यक्त पुरुष त्रिगुण अगुण अविवेकि विवेकी विषय अविषय
