[Footnote 328: In p. 142, line 3, I add _viná_ after _nimittam_.]
[Footnote 329: The ghaṭṭa is the place where dues and taxes are
collected. Some one anxious to evade payment is going by a private way
by night, but he arrives at the tax-collector's house just as day
dawns and is thus caught. Hence the proverb means _uddeśyásiddhi_.]
[Footnote 330: In p. 143, line 13, I read _sphoṭakabhávam_ for
_sphoṭábhávam_.]
[Footnote 331: Cf. Ballantyne's Transl. of the Mahábháshya, pp. 9,
32.]
[Footnote 332: The Mímáṃsâ holds that a word means the genus (_játi_)
and not the individual (_vyakti_); the Nyáya holds that a word means
an individual as distinguished by such and such a genus (or species).]
[Footnote 333: Cf. Rig-Veda Prátiś. xii. 5.]
[Footnote 334: He here is trying to show that his view is confirmed by
the commonly received definitions of some grammatical terms.]
[Footnote 335: Since Devadatta is only its transient owner.]
[Footnote 336: So by the words "horse," "cow," &c., Brahman is really
meant, the one abiding existence.]
[Footnote 337: Cf. Ballantyne's Mahábháshya, pp. 44, 50.]
[Footnote 338: In p. 145, line 8, read _asatya_ for _aśvattha_.]
[Footnote 339: We have here the well-known four grammatical
categories, _játi_, _guna_, _dravya_ or _saṅjná_, and _kriyá_.]
[Footnote 340: But cf. Siddh. Muktáv., p. 6, line 12.]
[Footnote 341: Thus we read in the Siddhánta Muktávali, p. 82, that
the Mímáṃsá holds that a word means the genus and not the individual,
since otherwise there would be _vyabhichára_ and _ánantya_ (cf. also
Maheśachandra Nyáyaratna's note, Kávya-prakáśa, p. 10). If a word is
held to mean only _one_ individual, there will be the first fault, as
it will "wander away" and equally express others which it should not
include; if it is held to mean _many_ individuals, it will have an
endless variety of meanings and be "indefinite."]
[Footnote 342: This seems the meaning of the text as printed _tasmát
dvayaṃ satyam_, but I should prefer to read conjecturally _tasmád
advayaṃ satyam_, "therefore non-duality is the truth."]
[Footnote 343: _Scil._ they can only be the absolute Brahman who alone
exists.]
[Footnote 344: _Scil._ the individual soul (_jíva_) and Brahman.]
[Footnote 345: The _Saṃvṛiti_ of the text seems to correspond to the
_ávaraṇa_ so frequent in Vedánta books.]
[Footnote 346: This passage is quoted in the Maitrí Upanishad, vi.
22.]
[Footnote 347: _Adhividyam_ occurs in Taitt. Upanishad, i. 3, 1, where
it is explained by [']Saṃkara as _vidyásv adhi yad dar[']sanaṃ tad
adhividyam_.]
