the case "of him" in the statement of the Kanva-
sakha just quoted. The 'eke' of Sutra 13 refers
to the Kanva-sakha (iii, 2, 11) and is therefore
different from the Madhyandina-sakha whose
statement is relied on for establishing the Purva-
paksha. Dr. Thibaut supposes that iii. 2, 11 of
the Kanva-sakha is brought in to refute the
statement of iv, 4, 5 of the same sakha, and
hence his difficulty.
We now take up Dr. Thibaut's discussion
of the second of the two adhikaranas above
referred to, viz., iv, 4, 1-7. Dr. Thibaut's first
remark is: "The result of this closer considera-
tion of the first set of sutras alleged by Sankara
to concern the higher knowledge of Brahman
entitles us to view with some distrust Sankara's
assertion that another set also-iv, 4, 1-7-has
to be detached from the general topic of the
fourth adhyaya and to be understood as
depicting the condition of those who have
obtained final absolute release."-As we have
shown above that his entire discussion of San-
kara's interpretation of the first set of Sutras is
altogether unsatisfactory and based on errors of
the case "of him" in the statement of the Kanva-
sakha just quoted. The 'eke' of Sutra 13 refers
