COMMENTARY
The proposition may be stated either in the form . The Hare-marked is not Non-Moon', or The Hare marked is the Moon'; and the Probans is because it is spoken of by the well-known popular name Moon' or because it is spoken of as the Moon' the Corroborative Instance per dissimilarity being supplied by the ciod of earth and such things.
(2) Another Probans is next mentioned, which is "two-featured': This pain of mine has been caused by the falling insect, -because its appear. ance was felt on the touch of the falling insect' i.e. the 'udaya', appearance, of which was pratilabdha, felt, on the aparsha', touch, of the falling insect.-The feminine affix 'tap' is not added at the end of the compound, because it is intended to be a common factor.
(3) (Another example The Eye has the potency of the most effective instrument in bringing about the apprehension of the Colour existing at the present time,-because, while it is not damaged, it is that which is used as the Instrument, by a man who desires to see Colour and acts intelligently -or-' because it is actually found to bring about the cognition of Colour';
