८८. ननुब्रह्मणः कथमावरणम्, निरवद्यस्वप्रकाशत्वेन सर्वज्ञत्वात् ? ।
88. Objection:- Brahman is faultless, Self-luminous
and omniscient. Therefore how can it be covered?
 
८९. सत्यम्; स्वसम्बद्ध सर्वभासकतया सर्वज्ञमपि अन्तःकरणावच्छित्रजीवा-
ज्ञानविषयतया आवृतमिति व्यपदेशात् । तस्मात् ब्रह्म जगदुपादानमिति
पक्षे चिदुपरागार्था आवरणभङ्गार्था च वृत्तिः । जीवोपादानत्वपक्षे तु
आवरणभङ्गर्थेवेति ॥
 
89. Answer:- True. It is no doubt all-knowing because
it illumnines everything that is associated with it.
Yet, as the object of ignorance of the soul which is
limited by the mind it is conceived as covered.
 
Therefore, in the view that Brahman is the sub-
stantial cause of the world, the function of the mind
is for the purpose of making contact with Conscious-
ness and for breaking the covering or veil. In the
view of the soul as the substantial cause of the world,
the function is only for breaking the cover.
 
९० ननु एकेनैव घटादिज्ञनेनावरणस्य भने सद्यो मोक्षप्रसङ्गः अज्ञानस्यैकत्वात्
नानाज्ञानपक्षेऽप्ये कस्य जीवस्यै काज्ञानोपाधित्वात् ।
 
90. Objection :- When the veil ( of ignorance ) is des-
toyed in the process of knowing a pot (and the like),
since there is only one ignorance, one should become
immediately free. Even in the view of ignorance as
many, one ignorance being the determinant or limiting
adjunct of each soul, (such a soul should become free ).
९१. न, उत्तेजकस्यमणेरिव वृत्त्या आवरणस्य अभिभवानीकारात् । तथा
च प्रमाणजन्यान्तःकरणवृत्त्यभावासहकृतमज्ञानं सति भात्यपि वस्तुति 'नास्ति
न भाति' इति प्रतीतिजननसमर्थमावरणमित्युच्यते । वृत्तौ जातायां तु
अवच्छेदकाभावात् विद्यमानमप्यविद्यमानसममेवेति न स्वकार्यसमर्थमज्ञानं;
तेनाभिभूतमित्युच्यते ॥
 
91. Answer:-No. Because we accept that the over-
coming of the covering by the mind-function is like
