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. - [Previous: c6.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1929.c6.6) - [Next: c6.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1929.c6.8) - [Up: c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1929.c6) ## Linked texts (1) - [Kāmandakīya Nītisāra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.artha.kamandaka_nitisara.2.13) — Kāmandaki, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1929.c6.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1929.c6.7) · Pramāṇa
