v2.c19.s3.3

² It is not enough to state that perception and inference have special (*viśiṣṭa*) objects of cognition, these objects represent originally independent (*bhinna*) elements, since empirically there is an element of sense perception when we infer the presence of fire on the hill, and there is an element of constructive thought in every percept, thus *pratyakṣayor anumānayor vā samplave na bādhakam uktam* (*viśiṣṭa-śabdena*), *tathāpi vijātīya - pramāṇa - samplava - nirākaraṇa - paro' yam granthaḥ* (V).
