TATTVASANGRAHA CHAPTER XVI.
Objection - "If no objective factor is expressed by the word, then how is it that the Teacher has declared that it is only a certain part of the Thing that is apprehended by the exclusion of other things'?" Answer
TEXT (1072).
WHEN IT IS SAID THAT A CERTAIN PORTION OF THE THING IS APPREHENDED BY THE Exclusion of other Things', -IT IS THE SAID REFLECTION
THAT IS MEANT. -(1072)
COMMENTARY
Objection:“Reflection being a property of the Cognition, how can it be a portion of the object'" Answer -
TEXT (1073).
IT IS SPOKEN OP AS A PORTION OF THE OBJECT, BECAUSE IT PROCEEDS ON THE BASIS OF THE PERCEPTION OF TRE OBJEOT AS 'EXOLUDED FROM OTHER THINGS, AND BECAUSE IT IS SUPER
IMPOSED UPON THE OBJECT.-(1073)
OOMMENTARY.
Because it comes about through the perception of the object 'excluded from other things, and because it is superimposed upon it-i.e. upon the Object excluded from other things by deluded persons,—therefore that same Reflection is figuratively spoken of as part of the object':-(1073)
In the following Text the author applies the Instrumental ending in the compound 'arthäntaraparāvrtiya' in the case in question :
TEXT (1074).
AS BEFORE, THE INSTRUMENTAL ENDING MAY SIGNIYY EITHER THE Cause OR THE Instrument. OR IT MAY SIGNIFY THAT IT IS IN THAT TORM'-IF THE THING WERE NOT DIFFERENTIATED FROM UNLIKE THINGS, THEN IT COULD NOT
BE SO.--(1074)
COMMENTARY.
As before';-.e. just as under Texts 1068-1070,—where it is said that the Word expresses things as qualified by the exclusion of other things,
30 the same may be applied here also.-Or in all cases, the Instrumental Ending may be taken as signifying the idea of being in that form : this is what is montioned by the words 'tēna vātmana'.
