[Upavarsha:] “No; it is a recognition of individuals. Yes, if in speech other letters were continually apprehended, as in the case of other individuals, for example, cows, then recognition would be grounded on species; but this is not so; for only the individual letters are recognised again in speaking, and [if the same word, for example, ‘cow,’ is repeated,] then it is assumed that the word ‘cow’ has been spoken, twice, not two words ‘cow’ [once].
