Sarvadarshanasangraha 16.42

16.42

Since the self accepted by Kaṇabhakṣa (Kaṇāda), Akṣacaraṇa (Gautama), and others does not appear [in the 'I'-cognition], it must be admitted that the 'I'-experience has a superimposed self as its object. First of all, the 'I'-experience is not capable of making known the omnipresence of the self, because it grasps spatial limitation: 'I who know am here in this house.' And it must not be understood that this spatial limitation of the body is what appears, because the reference 'I' would not apply to it.
