Pandit Ganapati Śāstri explains the word ‘*Lōkāyata*’ as ‘न्यायास्त्रं ब्रह्मगार्ग्योक्तम्’ appropriately (Trivandrum edition, vol. i, p. 27). Again on p. 26, he explains how *ānvīkṣikī* is ‘त्रयो विशेषो’. This means that it not only closely follows the *Trayī* or the three Vedas—Rig, Yajus and Sāman, but also interprets the correct meaning contained therein. (Cf. Kāma, ii. 13; Śukra, ii. 155.) Thus the theory of the German scholar becomes untenable.
