FOOTNOTES:
[1]The mind involved in ignorance, is said to be waking, and the uncontrouled mind is styled as dreaming: the mind subdued by weariness is said to be asleep, and when brought under subjection by any effort, is calledsamádhior meditation, lastly its liberation from ignorance, is known as its state ofmuktior emancipation.
[2]Note.—Each of the three states of waking, dreaming and sound sleep admit of three conditions viz. waking wakefulness, waking dream and the waking sound sleep; again dreaming watchfulness, dreaming dream and dreaming sleep; and lastly the sleepy waking, the sleepy dream and the sleepy sound sleep (see the scholium of Sureshvara for instances of every Kind).
[3]The founder of Vedánta was Vyása, of Buddhism—Buddha, of Sánkhya—Kapila, of Saugata—Patanjali. Tryaksha, Pashupati and Bhairana were professors of Ágama tantras.
[4]Note. The sacred Sanskrit was at once a perfect language, without any knowledge of us regarding its formative stage, though abalabhásáor infant-language is said to have existed before, of which we have no relic nor know anything.
[5]Note. If the world be a form of Divine knowledge, and subsistent in and subjective to the eternal mind of God; it can then be neither created nor destroyed at any time; but since it is subject to creation and destruction, it can be a part of Divine knowledge. Nor is it an object for want of any cause of its creation. Therefore it is a mere nullity.
[6]Note.—If the thinkables are the produce of their first creation, then it remains to be said, whence (i.e.from what materials) they were formed.
[7]Note.—According to Vasishtha, Byam, Beom or vacuum, is possest of all the attributes of Brahm Godhead, in its unity, infinity, eternity, incorporeality and formlessness, as also in its omnipresence, omnipotence in its supporting the worlds and in the omniscience of the vacuous intellect.
