VOGA DRSTISAMUCCAVA
Since the sumerous omniscient persons cannot hold esscotially diver gent views it is but a delusion on the part of those who lold in spe.. cial reverence one or another from among them to discriminate between them.
सर्वज्ञो नाम यः कश्चित् पारमार्थिक एव हि । स एक एव सर्वत्र व्यक्तिभेदेऽपि तत्वतः ॥१०३॥
sarvajño nama yaḥ kaścil pāramārlhika cva li / sa eka eva sarratra vyaktibhedepi tallvatah [1103||
Whoever is au omniscient is so genuinely and he must be essentially one everywhere (i. e. in every case of omniscience) even if there is a difference of personality beje (1. e. gwong those exbibiting omniscience).
प्रतिपत्तिस्ततस्तस्य सामान्येनैव यावताम् । ते सर्वेऽपि तमापन्ना इति न्यायगतिः परा ||१०४॥
pratipallis latas tasya sāmāny.naiva jāvalām | te sarvepi tam apanna iti nyayagatih para //10411
Under such conditions it is most logical to hold that those who have faith in an omniscient person in a general fashion (ie, on account of his omniscience in general) are all (without exception) his votaries.
विशेषस्तु पुनस्तस्य कार्येनासर्वदर्शिभिः । सर्वेन ज्ञायते तेन तमापन्नो न कश्चन ॥१०५||
višeşas tu punas tasya karlsnyenāsarvadarsibhih / sarvair na jnayate tena tam apanno na kascana ||10511.
.
On the other hand, so far as the details of bis nature are concerned they taken in their entirety are beyond the comprebepsion of all (i. e. of us all) who are themselves non-omniscient; in this sepse pone can be said to be the votary of an omniscient person.
तस्मात् सामान्यतोऽप्येनमभ्युपैति य एव हि । निर्व्याज तुल्य एवासौ तेनांशेनैव धीमताम् ॥१०६॥
tasmāt sāmānyato'py enam abhyupaiti ya era hi / niruyajam tulya evasau tenam senaiva dhamātām ||10611
