[Footnote 190: _I.e._, the disjunction of the hand and the points of
space.]
[Footnote 191: The author of a commentary on the Bhagavad Gítá.]
[Footnote 192: For _dravyádi_ read _pṛithivyádi_.]
[Footnote 193: I am not sure that it would not be better to read
_viddhavevidhayá_, rewounding the wounded, instead of _vṛiddhavívadhayá_.]
[Footnote 194: Unless you _see_ the rope you cannot mistake it for a
serpent.]
[Footnote 195: In p. 110, last line, read _'bháve_.]
[Footnote 196: Read in p. 110, last line, _anavadhánádishu_.
_Vidhipratyaya_ properly means an imperative or potential affix implying
"command;" but the pandit takes _vidhi_ here as _bhávabodhaka-kriyá_. It
has that meaning in Kávya-prakáśa, V. (p. 114, l. 1).]
[Footnote 197: The mind perceives _áloka-jñána_, therefore it would
perceive its absence, _i.e._, darkness, but this last is perceived by
the _eye_.]
[Footnote 198: _I.e._, light possesses colour, and we cannot see a
jar's absence in the dark.]
[Footnote 199: Sound resides in the imperceptible ether, and cessation
is the _dhvaṃsábháva_, or "emergent non-existence."]
[Footnote 200: The reading _pratyayavedyatvena_ seems supported by p.
110, last line, but it is difficult to trace the argument; I have,
therefore, ventured hesitatingly to read _pratyakshavedyatvena_, and
would refer to the commentary (Vaiś. Sút. p. 250), "_yadi hi
níla-rúpavan nílaṃ rúpam eva vá tamaḥ syát, váhyálokapragraham
antareṇa chakshushá na gṛihyeta_."]
[Footnote 201: Intimate relation has also no intimate relation.]
[Footnote 202: "Relative non-existence" (_saṃsargábháva_) is the
negation of a relation; thus "the jar is not in the house" is
"absolute non-existence," "it was not in the house" is "antecedent,"
and "it will not be in the house" is "emergent," non-existence.]
[Footnote 203: _I.e._, the absolute absence of the jar is found in the
jar, as, of course, the jar does not reside in the jar, but in the
spot of ground,--it is the _játi ghaṭatva_ which resides in the jar.]
[Footnote 204: The opposite is "there _is_ colour in the air."]
