Note 296 — Chapter XII · THE JAIMINI-DARŚANA.
Edward B. (Edward Byles) Cowell translation
These words "and is other than defect" (dosha-vyatirikta) are, of course, meaningless as far as right knowledge is concerned; they are simply added to enable the author to bring in "wrong knowledge" as an example. Wrong knowledge is caused by the causes of knowledge plus "defect;" right knowledge by the former alone.
