Whatever that is supposed to be \*sāmānya lakṣaṇa\* (universal) is unreal; it can be described linguistically, but then any such description ought to be fictional. The \*svalakṣaṇa\* functions as a reality from moment to moment. It is the \*paramārthasat\* (ultimate reality) and is \*sarvato vyāvṛtta\* (distinguished from everything else). - [Previous: c8.s5.36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c8.s5.36) - [Next: c8.s5.38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c8.s5.38) - [Up: c8.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c8.s5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c8.s5.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c8.s5.37) · Pramāṇa
