दृष्टेष्टारं पश्ये:,' अदृष्टो द्रष्टा नान्योऽतोऽस्ति द्रष्टा' इत्यादि वदता वेदान्त-
प्रमाणराजेन तस्यैव सर्वसाक्षित्वेन अभिषिक्तत्वात् ॥
 
33. Answer: "While he is shining, everything shines
after Him, by His light all this is illumined " ( S.U.
ii, 14); "You cannot see the seer of sight" (B.U.
ii, 4,2) ; "(It is) the Seer who is not seen ; other than
That there is no seer" (B.U. ii, 7,2). By such state-

३५. बाढम्, इन्द्रजालमेवैतत् स्वप्नवदविद्याविलसितत्वात् ॥

३६. तथापि दृश्यस्य घटादिवत् जडत्वेन कथं प्रमाश्रयत्वमिति चेत् ।
 
36. Objection : Even so, how can they, which being
objects, should be non-sentient like a pot, be the
loci of valid knowing.
 
३७. न, दर्पणादिवत्स्वच्छत्वेन चित्प्रतिबिम्बग्राहकत्वात् चित्तादात्माध्या-
सात् ।
 
37. Answer : No. Because of clarity they are able to
catch or hold a reflection of consciousness or by
virtue of the superimposed identity with pure
consciousness.
 
३८. ननु नीरूपस्य निरवयवस्य कथं प्रतिबिम्ब इति चेत् -
 
38. Objection : But how can there be a reffection of
