reality." It does not present the attributes of
occurring in time and place and of remaining un-
falsified subsequently-attributes which are found
to apply to the state of wakefulness. But have
dreams, then, not a particle of reality about them?
The answer is given in the next sutra. That'
answer is that dreams have this element of rea-
lity in common with several occurrences of the
waking state, viz., that they are indicative of
the future. This the Sutrakara goes on to
say is a fact stated in Sruti and also attested
by experts in the science of dreams. Thus these
sutras regarding the state of dream clearly prove
that the Maya doctrine, as Sankara has enuncia-
ted it, is held also by the Sutrakara. It must not
be forgotten. here that, as Dr. Thibaut has
pointed out, this adhikarana is the only one in
which the Sutrakara himself has made use of the
term maya. Our discussion of Dr Thibaut's
views, though protracted, is not unduly so, as it
has brought out clearly the complete coincidence
of views existing between the Sutrakara and the
bhashyakara regarding the illusory character (the
vyavaharika-not the paramarthika-reality) of
the world.
