RACANANUPAPATTYADHIKARANA $

1. Racananupapattes'ca nanumanam pravrttes'ca

The Anumana (Pradhana) is not the cause of the creation, etc. of the world, on account of the impossibility of construction and on account of activity.

The construction of chariots, mansions, etc. cannot be accomplished by the non-sentient beings, such as wood etc. without being employed by a person, who knows how to do them. And they could be made when they are employed by the person, who knows how to do them. Hence the Pradhana, that is non-sentient being, that could be proved by the inference only and that is not guided by an intelligent person cannot be the cause of the creation, etc. of the world.

If it be said like milk or water; there also the intelligent guides.

The milk and the water are not guided by an intelligent person, when they undergo the changes of curds etc. Same is the case with the Pradhana also. The answer is thus-Even in this case the reason of refutation is the same as stated already; because these milk and water also are included in the minor term.

3. Vyatirekanavasthitescanapeksatvaat

And because from the independence of the Pradhana, there would be never the reverse of the creation of the world.

The Pradhana is not the cause of the creation, etc. of the world; otherwise the creation wou1d take place always, as the guidance of the intellegent is not at all required.

Not like grass, etc.; because it does not happen in other cases.

It is not right to say that the Pradhana is the cause of the creation. etc. of the world in the same way as grass. etc. are capable of being modified as the milk when they are eaten by the cows; because in the case of bulls. etc. such a transformation is not seen. Therefore the moditication of the grass etc. into the milk etc. also is guided by an intelligent agent.

5. Purusasmavaditi cet tathaapi

And if it is said as in the case of the person and the tone; thus also the Pradhaana cannot be the cause of the creation, etc. of the world.

The self, by his presence. directs the Pradhaana to create the world. This is similar to the case of a blind man guided by a lame one. Another instance is the case of a magnetic stone towards which the iron moves. Therefore the

Pradhaana need not be guided by an intelligent self. It is not so. Even then the Pradhaana cannot be the cause of the creation, etc. of the world; because the intelligent person does not undergo any change. The lame man and the magnetic stone undergo the occasional changes by advising the path and moving from one place to another.

6. Angitvaanupapattes'ca

And on account of the impossibility of the prominence with relationship as prominent and subordinate.

The origination of the world results from a certain relation between the three Gunaas as principal and subordinate which depends upon the relative inferiority and superiority. But, as in the Pralaya state, the three Gunaas are in the state of equipoise, none of them is superior or inferior to the others. Hence. the creation, of the world would not take place.

And if the inference be made in a different way, the result remains unchanged, on account of the Pradhaana being destitute of the power of knowing.

The expression,' Being destitute of the power of know- ing' means,'Being devoid of the power of an intelligent'. Suppose Pradhaana is inferred by some reasoning different from the one so far refuted by us, even then, as it is devoid of the power of knowing the difficulties such as the impossibility of construction, etc. mentioned in Sutra II.2.1, do firmly stand.

8. Abhyupagamepyarthaabhaavaat

On account of the absence of a purpose, even if it be admitted, it should not be inferred.

This is not to be inferred; because no purpose will be served by considering Pradhaana to be the cause of the

creation, etc. of the world. The intelligent person, who does

the production of big and long from the short and the atom, are untenable.

The word Asamanjasa (untenable) is brought here from the previous Sutra. The word, Vaa (i.e. or) is used in the sense of Ca (i.e. and). Completely unintelligible are the views of that school, which hold the doctrine that the Tryanuka which is big and long is formed from the D'vyanukas (shorts) and Paramaanus (atoms)*****." As a rule the parts, that possess six sides, begin the formation of a bigger object in combination. The atoms have no parts. Hence, they cannot have sides. Things such as atoms, that are brought together without any regard to their sides cannot produce a big object.

{{center|11. Ubhayathaapi na karmaatastadabhaavah)

On both assumptions, motion does not originate in the atoms and thence there is no origination of the world.

It is impossible to accept that first motion can originate in the atoms. Therefore the conjunction of two or more atoms is impossible to accept. Though there may be required the maturIty of the Adrsta (i.e. the unseen principle) in the individual selves, even then, the occasional motion, that is caused by the Adrsta, cannot have its origin in the atoms. Suppose the maturity is not required, then the motion should have been produced in the atoms even before. In fact, maturity is not newly produced as a certain attribute in Adrsta. When regarded as commandments, particular actions yield particular results. Then at that particular time the Individual selves attain that fruit. This is called as a maturation. When no particular time is fixed for such fruits, the maturation is the state of being not obstructed by more powerful deeds. Adrsta has the nature of granting the results, that are dependant upon the nature of the actions. Hence, maturity does not find a fixed place in all the individual selves at the same time; because the various actions grant various results at various times. The Lord can not be proved by the inference. Hence,

And because, owing to the acknowledgment of Samavaaya, there results regressus ad infinitum, on account of equality.

The views of the Vaisesikas are also untenable, on account of the acknowledgment of Samavaya; because Samavaya also like the Jati (class) and Guna (qualities), requires something else, to prove the fact of its being inseparably connected. From this there arises the falIac:y of regressus in infinitum. If it is argued that this nature of the Samavaya is such as being connected inseparably without requiring other means to prove it, let the same principle applied with the case of Jati and Guna also.

And on account of the atoms having colour, etc. the reverse (i.e. non-eternity of atoms) takes place; because it is so observed.

The atoms have colour etc. Hence its characteristics would be other than eternity; because such a principle is observed in regard to the pots, etc.

15. Ubhayathaa ca dosaat

And as there are defects in both the cases.

Suppose the atoms have no colour, because otherwise they become non-eternal, then the principle 'The properties of the effect are due to the properties of the cause' will have to be abandoned. If they have colour, they must be non-eternal. Therefore the whole argument is untenable; because faults do arise in both the cases.

What is apprehended in the notion, 'I know the pot', is the thing (pot) that is an object of the knowledge held by the knower. Therefore it is not possible to say that there is no separate thing.

29. Na bhaavonupalabdheh

The existence of mere knowledge is not possible, on account of the absence of perception.

The existence of mere cognition, devoid of corresponding objects. is not possible; because such things are nowhere perceived. That even the dream-cognitions refer to the objects will be maintained later on

SARVATHANUPAPATTYADHIKARANA 5

30. Sarvathaanupapattesca

And on account of its improbability in every way.

The view of universal voidness of Madhyamikas is not correct. When the proposition to be proved is either on existence or non-existence, it cannot be nothingness; because it is not so proved. Because the cognitions of existence (i.e.

EKASMINNASAMBHAVADHIKARANA 6

31. Naikasminnasambhavaat

Not so, on account of the impossibility in one.

The views of the Arhat or Jina, are not tenable, because it is not possible for an object to assume simultaneously the states of existence and non-existence, permanence and non- permanence, and separateness and non-separateness. It is also impossible to accept that a substance undergoes different states (Paryaayaas) simultaneously, because the states such as lumpness, potness, and the state of broken pieces etc. which are said to be the objects of the cognition of existence and non-existence, are mutually contradictory. The earth, etc. undergo the states of pot, plate, etc. in different parts. It is not possible to apprehend in the same substance, impermanence and its opposing nature namely, permanence, because

the former is the object of production and destruction and the latter is on reverse. Therefore these two attributes cannot pertain to a single thing.

32. Evam caatmaakaartsnyam

And thus the non-entireness of the self.

Suppose the self is of the size of the body. When he enters from a big body to the body of a small one, it happens that he does not enter it with his full size but only partly. Then it will happen that the soul is not complete in the smal1 body.

33. Na ca paryaayaadapyavirodho vikaaraadibhyah

Nor also is there non-contradiction from Paryaayaa; on account of change, etc.

Nor it can be said that the contradiction does not arise, as the self assumes a different condition through contraction and dilatation; because this would imply that the soul is the subject to change, like the pot, etc.

34. Antyaavasthitescobhayanityatvaadavis'esha

And on account of the stability of the final size, and the resulting permanency of both, there is no speciality.

'The final size' means 'the size that exists in the state of release'. The self then remains with the same size always which is his natural size. Therefore the self and his size must both be eternal and the soul must be of the same size even in his former stages. Hence it will happen that if the soul is of the size of the various bodies, then he must be imperfect in those bodies.

PASUPATYADHIKARANA 7

35. Patyurasaamanjasyat

The system of the school of Pas'upati must be disregarded on account of its inappropriateness.

The word 'not' continues from the previous Sutra. The view of the school of Pas1upati has to be discarded; because it is objectionable on account of there being

deviations from the principles accepted in the Vedic doctrine. It accepts that the Lord Pas'upati is only the instrumental, cause of the world and not the material cause also. This view is opposed to the principles of the Vedic doctrine. There are also rules of conduct, that are opposed to what are stated in the Vedic texts.

36. Adhisthaanaanupapattes'ca

And on account of the impossibility of agency.

Indeed, in the school that proves the existence of the Lord by inference, it is stated that the Lord is only the agent. This statement is not acceptable. If it were so, it happens that a bodiless Lord cannot be the agent of the Pradhaana. But suppose the Lord has a body; it is nowhere indicated, that His body is generated. Suppose He has limbs, and yet is eternal; then no contradiction arises in accepting the earth, and the mountain etc. as eternal.

If it is said that He is the agent as in the case of the organs; we deny this, because it would end in His enjoyment, etc.

The bodiless Lord is the agent of the Pradhaana as in the case of the individual self that rules the sense-organs and the body. It is not so. The activity of the individual selves with th e rulership over the organs and body is due to the effect of their past good and bad deeds and is for the sake of enjoyment of pleasure and pain. The same thing will happen in the Lord's case also.

If the Lord is of the type stated above, He becomes finite and other than omniscient.

And there is not the origination of the instrument from the agent.

The agent is the individual self.. The instrument is the mind. It is not stated in the scriptures, that the mind is produced from the individual self. The scriptural text is this-- 'From Him, is produced the breath, the mind and all the sense-organs' (Mund.II-1-3).

Consider the statement- 'From Vasudeva, there originates the individual self, calIed Samkarsana '. Here Samkarsana and others are said to be Vasudeva whose essential characteristic is knowledge, and who is the origin of the world. Then there can be no refutation of the authoritativeness of the doctrine, that set forth this truth. That the Supreme Brahman Vasudeva takes the incarnation on His own wi]], is said in the scriptural text. 'He is unborn ; Yet is born as many' (Tait. Ar. III-13-1). The words, Jiva etc.' denote Samkarsana and others, who are encased in those particular bodies.

42. Vipratisedhaacca

And on account of the refutation.

Even in that system occurs this passage--The connection between her (Prakrti) and the self is in the form of inseparability. The self is known truly to be without beginning
