TATTVASANGRAHA: CHAPTER XVI.
imposing of the form of things created by mere imagination ; and the Mind (Cognition) thus does create Impressions in the subsequent mind, which tende to bring about future homogeneous conceptual contents. Becanse, again, through the development of the Chain', it may get at an awakening cognition, which brings about a similar Mind (Cognition). In the same manner, in the case of Ajohas, there would be difference among themselves and also the positive character, due to the influence of assumptions and imagination.
Thus the Reason adduced by Kumärila is 'inconclusive
The meaning of the words of the Text is clear; hence we have not explained them in detail.-(1086-1087)
It has been argued (under 961, by Kumārila) that-"you cannot secure diversity among words also, on the basis of Impressions".
