[sū. 1 3. 35. 198 VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA ADH 9.] i.e. Jānaśruti's grief alone "was indicated" by Raikva, with a view to pointing out Jānaśruti's fitness for receiving instruction, and not his connection with any caste,—this is the sense ¹ SŪTRA 35 '(JĀNAŚRUTI WAS NOT A ŚŪDRA) ALSO BECAUSE WE KNOW OF (HIS) KṢATRIYAHOOD FROM THE INDICATION, (VIZ. THE FACT OF HIS BEING MENTIONED) LATER ON WITH CAITRARATHA" Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha "Because we know of the Kṣatriyahood" of Jānaśruti "from the indication" viz. that 'later on' he was mentioned together with Caitraratha Abhipratārin, Kṣatriya, in the passage: 'Now, when Śaunaka Kāpeya and Abhipratārin Kākṣaseni were being served food, a religious student begged of them' (Chānd. 4.3.5 ²), Jānaśruti was not a Śūdra.

'A plentiful giver, one preparing many food' (Chānd 4.1.1), he is known to be a lord of gifts and a giver of much well-cooked food, from the fact of his sending the door-keeper, known from the passage. 'He said to the door-keeper' (Chānd. 4 1 5) and from the fact of his giving golden ornaments, chariot and daughter to Raikva. Having, thus, stated the marks contained in the introduc- tory text and proving the Kṣatriyahood of Jānaśruti, the author goes on to show the mark, contained in the concluding text of the saṃvarga- vidyā, according to the maxim of the 'crow's eye',³—the term "and" ¹ Vide Chānd 4.1–4 2. ² Ś, R, Bh, Śk, B. ³ The maxim of the 'crow's eye' means as follows. Crows are supposed to have only one eye, which as occasion requires, moves from the cavity on one side into that of another. The maxim is used of a word which appears only once
