He didn't have a camp.
There you couldn't use his views to argue for the Confucians or the Taoists or something like this.
Do you get the sense that that's what the for the
reason behind Muka's Mukah's neglect or is there something else going on?
There's something else going on?
One one thing I wanted to mention was your your translation was was fantastic, I thought it's one of the clearest translations I've seen recently of of a Sanskrit work.
And and one of the things that that kind of struck me as I was as I was reading through it was just how kind of difficult some of the some of the Indian texts, especially in philosophy of language, are to access.
Um so even for those of us who have some Sanskrit, you know, kind of the Sunscrit texts are hard and then looking to a lot of the translations makes it even uh harder sometimes.
Um so I wonder like how did you is is this a a function of the text?
Is it is it the is Mukala's text uh cle a clearer text or was it your particular uh translation choices or how did that how did that
I think that's a I think it's a great choice and I think it it helps a lot with you know for people who are coming from kind of a more philosophical background without without Indian thought because it's really impossible.
I mean, even for some of us who have some understanding of Indian thought, just pick up some of the text and really understand what's going on.
So I think it's a great choice is that you made really clear.
So one one thing I wanted to m to to mention is the structure of your book that I found uh really interesting, how you have you have the historical introduction, the translation, the transliteration of the Sanskrit, and then uh extensive commentary on that.
Um and one of the things that reminded me of as I was reading it, it reminded me of the of the structure of some of the in uh the classical Indian texts themselves.
Um it looks like it m di uh and I was wondering, did you intentionally mirror that or why why did you pick this particular way of introducing uh Mukhal?
Right.
And I think that I I like the way that you did the the commentary there.
I mean it's it's kind of an introduction to Indian philosophy in a different way as well because it introduces to the c a kind of way of writing commentaries, right, that that's not as familiar in the in the West, which is I think great.
