Question: 'Just as the Grammarian says: "Sound should not act as an object of cognitive apprehension of sound; because of being produced; like a pot and so forth"—should this also be called contradictory to the qualification of the subject?' Answer: 'They themselves contradict their own thesis, so it is not that fault. Originally there was also no dispute that sound does not act as an object of cognitive apprehension of sound; so this is subsumed under pseudo-refutation (dūṣaṇābhāsa). Just as with not being an object of cognitive apprehension of sound, so too with "ought not to be produced by striking," and so forth—all should be understood according to this.'
