[Advaita-l] Apaurusheyatva of Vedas.

[श्रीमल्ललितालालितः]

Same is the case of every other pramANa.
You have innate shraddhA for eyes (pratyaxa pramAna), etc. too.
So, means of knowledge, whether it is pratyaxa or shabda, have it common.
Hence shraddha is not a defect of pramana.
This same thing is basis of svataH_prAmANyavAda.
So, those who were pointing shraddha as weak point of veda are refuted.
Thank you, for being patient.
You were opposed for only pointing this for shabda and that too as weakness.

see, nor prove by the logic that I know, I tend to accept based on the
trustworthyness of the teacher that is teaching me - is this not true? The
mental frame to accept is essential ingradient for shraddha and therefore
much emphasis on the  four fold qualifications for brahma jignaasaa.
