Yes, I agree the two pada-s have pada-padArtha sambandha, the two pada-s also have samsarga between each other, but the vAkya has no object corresponding to it, that is, there is no sambandha between the vAkya and vAkyArtha.


  *   This is very important observation IMHO to understand why jnAnAbhAva is always in abhAva rUpa not bhAva rUpa.  This is what I had written in one of my mails :
  *   //quote// The absence of any form / picture in intellect of a thing heard through someone is called the absence of knowledge of that object.  In the misconception (adhyAsa/ bhrAnti samaye) like seeing the snake in place of rope we have the form of snake in place of rope which is called 'wrong knowledge' and after bhrAnti nirasana (after the dawn of knowledge) we have the right picture of rope in our intellect.  Where as in the scenario of lack of knowledge of anything (gAgAbubu) there is no vrutti rUpa jnAna in our intellect at all.  Hence avidyA (not knowing) is always called as jnAnAbhAva and it is not an objectively existing thing. //unquote//
  *   Am I saying anything different from what you meant above prabhuji??

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
