Now, error:
Error is false cognition arising indeed from uncertainty regarding an occurrence.
3.213.p2
As in the Veṇīsaṃhāra, in the second act [after verse 2.10]: Bhānumatī: "Then, by seeing that Nakula of surpassing divine beauty, I became eager and my heart was stolen away. Then, leaving that seated place, I began to enter the creeper-bower."
3.213.p3
King (with embarrassment): "What indeed! 'by seeing Nakula of surpassing divine beauty she became eager, and her heart was stolen away!' Then how have we been thus deceived by this wicked woman who is enamored of Mādrī's son? Fool Duryodhana, esteeming yourself highly while being deceived by an unchaste wife, what will you say now?" (reciting "Why around the neck loosened..." [Ve.saṃ. 2.9] etc., and looking around) "Ah, for this very reason was her desire for a secluded place early this morning, and her partiality toward conversations with her friends! But Duryodhana, out of delusion, not knowing the true nature of an unfaithful woman's heart, has wandered astray somewhere!" Here, due to uncertainty regarding the queen's dream, Duryodhana's erroneous perception is error.
