saropa-laksha.na__ or "pure superimponent indication," in the second
there is __suddha-sadhyavasana-l.__ or "pure introspeceptive
indication," where the ghi is swallowed up in the "life." Most
writers, however, disallow __upachara__ in __suddha-laksha.na__];
but the knowledge of the meaning of the sentences will be produced
by a metaphor,--there is not brought about a real oneness.

26. The doctrine of Identity is established with a desperate effort,
and men have recourse to the power "Indication"; but there are three
things which should rise to our view,--the primary meaning, the
indicated meaning, and their connexion [Footnote: He seems to imply
that each of these three requisites fails in the present case,--
there is no primary meaning, and still less a secondary, and there is
no connexion with any other object.].

27. There is here no Denotation from the absence of conventional
agreement; there is no Indication from the absence of any reason [to
establish it]; by what reason, on the theory of Maya, can Brahman be
ever made known?

28. He is described [Footnote: He now proceeds to declare his own
opinions] in the Veda by the primary power of words [Denotation] as
the Maker of the Universe; and by Inference we establish the
conclusion that all these things have a Maker.

29. The Vedas are a proof, the Sm.ritis are a proof; there is a being
to be proved and known there in many passages; it is the great
Personality which is to be made known by all the Vedas,--therefore it
is this which the Veda takes as its subject.
