सिद्धान्तबिन्दु
 
the witness, the perception of the locus (of reflection,
viz., water) needs the aid:of the eye. This explains
also the illusory perception of the form "the sky is
blue". Because in that illusory perception, space
with light is the locus. Therefore it is to be under-
stood that only a visual image necessarily requires
form and colour, not others.

43. Answer : - Listen. "In every form He was reflected.
That (reffected) form of His, made the Lord and the
individual self for the purpose of activity based on
'I' (B.Uīñ, 5, 19). "He is seen as one and as many like
the moon in the water" (B.U. 4, 12 ) "Illusion, maya,
creates the appearance of the soul and the Lord." Such
passages of the Sruti. And the only way of understand-
ing sruti passages like, "He only has entered here"
(B.U.i, 4,7). "He entered by this door by opening
the delimitation." (B.U.ii,12). (Because in any other
sense these passages could not be understood reason-
ably.) Again there are the Sūtrās. "And an appear-
ance only" (B.S.iii, 2,18 ). "Therefore the comparison
"like a reflected sun" (B.S.iii, 2, 18 ) All these are evi-
dence of reflection of the self.
