Thibaut's translation can only evoke amuse-

We have now closed this lengthy and

comprehension of the doctrine as revealed in the
Upanishads or exhibited as a system in the
Sutras of Vyasa. Consequently Colonel Jacob's
statement that "it is impossible to resist the
conclusion at which he (Dr. Thibaut) arrives "
falls to the ground. We have also shown the
incorrectness of Colonel Jacob's views regarding
the sense of the word Maya, and the Vedantic
doctrine of Maya.
