Nor should it even be said: 'Let it be that this other experience does not belong to ordinary folk; it certainly does occur to critical investigators capable of examining the multitude of Vedāntic statements.' For the statements of Vedānta, being in conflict with uncontradicted experience, are just like statements such as 'the stones float.' For even a hundred scriptural texts cannot turn a pot into a cloth. Nor is there any disruption of the rule of study; for, according to the doctrine of the Guru (Prabhākara), the study of the established Vedāntic doctrine can occur because it is useful merely for recitation like mantras such as huṃ phaṭ, or, according to the doctrine of the Ācārya (Kumārila), because it is eulogistic like statements such as 'the sacrificer is the grass mat.'
