sandalwood, so also it is impossible to establish the associationlessness of Jiva, if the world and

Ishvara are believed to be real and ever-existing.

232. (Doubt): The idea of attachment of Jiva to the body and of control of Ishvara is due to

ignorance (Maya). (Reply): If you say so, then you happen to accept forcibly the conception of
