Advaitasiddhi (Advaitamafijari), p. 9 'establishing alternatives ·(3) and (7). IV (4-15). Jayatirtha points out in the rest of the text that not one of the alternative explanations of illusoriness holds water, Of this it cannot be the first. "".Lhe second alternative is further resolved into two alternatives i.e., the content that is lacking it, real or unreal. Both the alternatives are rejected on the ground qf the defect of overpervasion in respect of Asat and Brahman, According to the Advaitin neither is illusory. The probans" being different from sat " is found in asat, which is not illusory. The probans " being different from asat " is found in Brahman that is not illusory. Hence the defect of overpervasion. The difference predicated with reference to indeterminability has for its counter-correlate the real-and-the-unreal together. The Dvaitin no doubt admits that the universe is non-different from real. This does not prevent him from pointing out that the universe is different from the real-and-the-unreal together. The Dvaitin secures the difference from the real for the universe by taking the instance of Brahman, because that is what the Advaitin understands by real. We must not fail to note the fact that Madhva admits difference between reals. In fact according to him there are no two perfectly identical things. This fact is brought out by his doctrine of fivefold differences (paficabheda). The interpretation of the term indeterminability as " not being the locus of reality and unreality" fares no better at the hands of the Dvaitin. The Dvaitin admits that the universe is not at the same time the locus of the real and the unreal. The adduced defect, namely, establishment of the established is still there. The quotation " that which is not indeterminable " is from Citsukha's TattvapradJpika (p. 79). The main objection of the Dvai'tin •is not that the probandum indeterminability is not . -cognised .anywhere. We should note the fact that the. Dvaitin's analysis of reality admits of no compromise. There is no half way house between the real aild the unreal. The law of the
