Argument
IPVV — V2-K ARGUMENT MAP (the close of the jñānaśakti vimarśa: the vācaka-sphoṭa and the ordered appearance, kārikās 20–21)
MACHINE_DRAFT · 1 premises
Question. The vimarśa-section closes. Two final points: (1) the word (vācaka) and its determination — the "this" of the jar is not a separate thing the word pastes on; the word's own form is the reflexive-awareness, self-luminous like a lamp (the sphoṭa analysis); and (2) kārikā 21 — the cognition/memory/determination appear ordered (sakrama) only by following the place-and-time of the different cognized; in themselves, the reflexive-awareness-resting cognitions are one and order-less. This closes the jñānaśakti vimarśa (||5||).
Issue. **The question:** The vimarśa-section closes. Two final points: (1) the word (vācaka) and its
determination — the "this" of the jar is not a separate thing the word pastes on; the word's own form
is the reflexive-awareness, self-luminous like a lamp (the sphoṭa analysis); and (2) kārikā 21 — the
cognition/memory/determination appear ordered (sakrama) only by following the place-and-time of the
different cognized; in themselves, the reflexive-awareness-resting cognitions are one and order-less.
This closes the jñānaśakti vimarśa (||5||).
Premises
The vācaka and the sphoṭa
The substance-ness (dravyatva) is by the primary-ness, the object-action-use, the being-differentiated
by the other-dharmas (the kriyāvatva). The whole, of the other-appearance-form, flashes with the
primary-re-recollection ("this," as in "rājapuruṣa," the king-man — the king and the rest, without the
primary-re-recollection, would not raise the substance-ness). In the present case, "this jar": the
"jar"-word, going to the secondary-place in the meaning, the "this"-re-recollection is with the
non-difference; else the word, not superimposed on the meaning, would be recalled as free-standing
(the "from this fire, ḍhak" rule), not as the meaning-speaker. The "śuklaḥ paṭaḥ" (the white cloth): the
white-quality, previously manifested-and-recalled, at the time of the distinction, is not again
ma
Unresolved. 1. The "asmād agner ḍhak" rule — the free-standing word; kept close.
2. The Vākyapadīya citations — cited; the applications preserved.
