The Sarva-Darsana-Samgraha: Or, Review of the Different Systems of Hindu Philosophy
Madhava
Philosophy, Hindu; Philosophy, Indic
[Footnote 214: The printed text omits the third fault, "a stupid
indifference, _moha_," which is however referred to presently.]
[Footnote 215: In p. 116, line 3, I would read _tannirvartakam_ for
_tannivartakam_.]
[Footnote 216: This refers to the couplet so often quoted in Hindu
authors, "Logic, the three Vedas, trade and agriculture, and the
eternal doctrine of polity,--these four sciences are the causes of the
stability of the world" (cf. Manu, vii. 43). It occurs in Kámandaki's
_Nítisára_, ii. 2, and seems to be referred to in Vátsyáyana's Com. p.
3, from which Mádhava is here borrowing.]
[Footnote 217: Compare the English proverb, "As soon as the cat can
lick her ear."]
[Footnote 218: Literally the "bell-road," _i.e._, "the chief road
through a village, or that by which elephants, &c., decorated with
tinkling ornaments, proceed."--_Wilson's Dict._]
[Footnote 219: The cognition is produced in the first moment, remains
during the second, and ceases in the third.]
[Footnote 220: See Nyáya Sút. i. 2.]
[Footnote 221: As otherwise why should we require liberation at all?
Or rather the author probably assumes that other Naiyáyikas have
sufficiently established this point against its opponents, cf. p. 167,
line 11.]
[Footnote 222: See _supra_, pp. 24-32.]
[Footnote 223: All is momentary, all is pain, all is _sui generis_,
all is unreal.]
[Footnote 224: In the form of the various _kleśas_ or "afflictions."]
[Footnote 225: _Ávaraṇa_, cf. pp. 55, 58.]
[Footnote 226: But the Nyáya holds that the attributes of the soul, as
happiness, desire, aversion, &c., are perceived by the internal sense,
mind (Bháshá P. § 83).]
[Footnote 227: The reading _múrtapratibandhát_ is difficult, but I
believe that _pratibandha_ means here _vyápti_, as it does in Sánkhya
Sútras, i. 100.]
[Footnote 228: The true _summum bonum_ must be
_niratiśaya_,--incapable of being added to.]
[Footnote 229: _Yogyánupalabdhi_ is when an object is not seen, and
yet all the usual concurrent causes of vision are present, as the eye,
light, &c.]
[Footnote 230: Alluding to the Vedic phrase, "_grávánaḥ plavanti_,"
see Uttara Naishadha, xvii. 37. The phrase _aśmánaḥ plavanti_ occurs
in Shaḍv. Br. 5, 12.]
[Footnote 231: Or perhaps "capable of being surpassed."]
[Footnote 232: Since the Supreme Being is a single instance.]
[Footnote 233: Since the Veda, if non-eternal, must [to be
authoritative] have been created by God, and yet it is brought forward
to reveal the existence of God.]
[Footnote 234: The Nyáya holds presumption to be included under
inference, and comparison is declared to be the ascertaining the
relation of a name to the thing named.]
[Footnote 235: Since ether is connected by contact with the parts of
everything, as _e.g._, a jar.]
