CHAPTER II 33
एवमपि प्रयोजनं चेल्लक्ष्यते तत् प्रयोजनान्तरेणेति तदपि
प्रयोजनान्तरेणेति प्रकृताप्रतीतिकृत् अनवस्था भवेत् ॥
ननु पावनत्वादिधर्मयुक्तमेव तटं लक्ष्यते । 'गङ्गायास्तटे
घोषः' इत्यतोधिकस्यार्थस्य प्रतीतिश्च प्रयोजनमिति विशिष्टे
लक्षणा तत्किं व्यञ्जनयेत्याह--
प्रयोजनेन सहितं लक्षणीयं न युज्यते ॥ १७ ॥
कुत इत्याह--
ज्ञानस्य विषयो ह्यन्यः फलमन्यदुदाहृतम् ।
प्रत्यक्षादेर्नीलादिर्विषयः फलं तु प्रकटता संवित्तिर्वा ॥
[The answer to this is given by the following Text.]
It is not right to make the 'indicated' meaning include the
intended idea (for the sake of which Indication is admitted.—(17)
"Why not?"
Because the object of a cognition is one thing, and its
resultant is said to be another.
For instance, the 'object' of the perceptional cognition
is the blue thing, while the 'resultant' of that cognition
is the 'apprehendedness' of that thing (as held by the
Mīmāṁsaka), or the 'representative cognition' ('I perceive
the blue thing,'—this is according to the Naiyāyika).
[Similarly the object of the cognition obtained by Indication is the
'bank', and the idea of 'sanctity' and the rest is only its resultant,
which, therefore, being different from the 'object', cannot be
coupled with the former.—There is no doubt that such is the mean-
ing of the text, and the commentators have had recourse to a subtle
and laboured explanation only on account of their being unable to re-
concile the clear meaning of the text with their own conceptions ] 17
Thus Indication cannot apply to the thing along with its
qualities.
This has been already explained.
