²⁸ *Yushmad-asmat-pratyaya-gocara*; Banerjea translates: "indicated by the second and first personal pronouns," and so p. 15, 2 *asmat-pratyaya-vishayatvāt*: "because it (the soul) is the object of the first personal pronoun," which, however, gives us no clear meaning, for only presentations, not pronouns, have objects,—The soul is therefore subject (*vishayin*), yet not (empiric) subject of knowledge as which the *ahampratyayin* (that is, the *manas*, to distinguish from the *ahaṃkartar*) figures, to which the soul again stands opposed as object (*vishaya*); *cf.* the passages in notes 29 and 30, and further in the course of the work (Chap. XXVII, 3).
