[Advaita-l] [advaitin] PanvhadashI 2.35

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste Sudhanshu Ji,

Context for verse 35 is a debate between SidddhAnti and SunyavAdin. Verse
34 concludes by SiddhAnti wishing well for SunyavAdin to have arrived at
the same conclusion as SiddhAntin by his anumAna pramANa. SiddhAnti , in
verse 35, raises a possible counter anumAna by the SunyavAdin in the first
line, and responds to the same in the second line.

The counter by the SunyavAdin is this ;; सतोऽपि नामरूपे द्वे कल्पिते चेत्
(sato.api nAmarUpe dve kalpite chet) Why not both सत् (sat) and
नामरूप (nAmarUpa)
be considered as अध्यारोप (adhyAropa) (superimpositions) or mithyA ?.
SiddhAntin asks तदा वद (tadA vadA) ( then answer).

Second line of the verse ;; Any anumAna should be based on a vyApti
(invariable concomitance). This vyApti itself must be based on multiple
instances of pratyaksha pramANa. Thus the SiddhAntin asks the SunyavAdin to
present illustrations where भ्रमः (Bhramah) (superimposition) takes place
in the absence of a अधिष्ठान (adhiShThAna) (Base or Support).

Conclusion being that such भ्रमः (Bhramah) (superimposition) without a
अधिष्ठान (adhiShThAna) (Base or Support) is impossible to find. Hence such
an anumAna by the sUnyavAdin is wrong.

This is my understanding of the verse in brief.

Regards
