That there is mistake in recognitions has already been explained before.—The ‘property� varies with the variations of place, time and persons using (the word); and the variations appear in the shape of the various notes, ṣaḍj, ṛṣ, Ի, 貹ñ and so forth;—the cogniser also is perceived directly; the individual letter �ga� is also clearly distinct.—All this diversity cannot be regarded as due to the diversity in the ‘manifester�; that there can be no ‘manifestation� in the case of eternal things is going to be explained later on.�(2476-2478)

This is quite easy.�(2476-2478)
