Necessity: — What is the necessity of the use of these technical terms (Tantra-Yukti) ? The answer is — For connecting words together, i. e,, making up sentences and giving a sense or meaning to them. 3.

Memorable verses: — By the use of technical terms in a scientific treatise the points of argument of the opposite party are frustrated and the points of one's own argument are established. The meanings of the words, whether clearly used or not, whether direct or indirect, or partially used, if there is any such, in the treatise are also made distinct (by the use of the technical terms). Just as the sun shows a cluster of lotus and a lighted lamp (the inside of) a room at their best, so the technical terms used in a treatise clearly show i.e., explain the intended meaning. 4.
