व्यतिरेको गन्धवत्तथा च दर्शयति
vyatireko gandhavattathā ca darśayati
Sūtra translation
There is distinction as in the case of smell; and thus Scripture declares.
Just as smell, which is perceived as a quality of earth, is distinct from earth; thus knowledge of which we are conscious as the quality of a knowing subject—which relation expresses itself in judgments such as 'I know'—is different from the knowing subject. Scriptural texts also prove this relation, as e.g. 'This Person knows.'
