is clear that the ignorance (in general, which produces
the dream objects) is opposed to the ignorance
that produces the objects of the waking state.
Special ignorance, however, is not dispelled except
by the function generated by means of valid
knowing. The witness which proves the existence of
ignorance cannot dispel ignorance, for that very reason.
It is proved by the perception of the qualified. Thus
everything is accounted for.
१६३. यावन्ति ज्ञानानि तावन्त्याज्ञानानीति चाभ्युपगमात् शुक्तिज्ञानेनैव
व्यायहारिकसङ्घातज्ञानेनाज्ञानानिवृत्तावपि पुनरपि कदाचिद्रजतभ्रमवत्र
स्वप्राध्यासानुपपत्तिरिति जीवचैतन्य मेवाधिष्ठानमिति पक्षे न कोऽपि दोषः ।
163. It is also agreed that there are as many knowings
as there are ignorances. So even though ignorance of
the dream state is dispelled by the knowing of the
aggregates of the practical (waking ) state, as in the
knowing of the shell, the possibility of the recurrence
of the dream cannot be considered as unreasonable,
even like the recurrence of the illusion of silver. Thus
by accepting the soul-consciousness as the locus there
is no defect.
१६४. यदा तु पुनब्रह्मज्ञानादेवज्ञाननिवृत्त्यभ्युपगमः तदा रज्ज्वां दण्डभ्रमेण
सर्पभ्रमतिरोधानवदधिष्ठानज्ञानाभावेऽपि जाग्रमेण स्वमभ्रमतिरोभावोपपत्तेः
ब्रह्मचैतन्यमेव स्वमाध्यासाधिष्ठानमिति पक्षेऽपि न कश्चिद्दोषः । प्रतिजीवं
स्वमाध्यासासाधारण्यं तु मनोगतवासनानामसाधारण्यादेव ।
164. Again, when it is agreed that ignorance is re-
moved only by Brahman-knowledge, then like the
illusion of the serpent disappearing by the illusion of
a stick, even without the knowledge of the locus, it
would be reasonable to accept the disappearance of
dream illusion by the waking illusion. In that case
