ekasya鈥攐f one [ornament out of many[1] ]; ca鈥攁lso (i.e. there is another 蝉补峁卥补谤补); grahe鈥攊n the matter of the acknowledgement; 苍测腻测补鈥攐f a logical reasoning; 诲辞峁鈥攐f a fault; 补产丑腻惫腻迟鈥攂ecause of the absence; 补苍颈艣肠补测补岣�鈥攖丑别 蝉补峁卥补谤补 called 补苍颈艣肠补测补 (鈥渨ithout certainty鈥�).
When there is no reason for, nor any objection to, acknowledging one ornament out of several possibilities, that is another variety of 蝉补峁卥补谤补, called 补苍颈艣肠补测补 (a doubt about which ornament is actually occurring) (also called sandeha-蝉补峁卥补谤补).
yatra dvau bahavo v膩la峁卥膩r膩 sahaiva prat墨yante, tatra ced ekasya s膩dhik膩 b膩dhik膩 v膩 yuktir na sy膩t tarhi ni艣cay膩bh膩va-r奴po dvit墨ya岣� 蝉补峁卥补谤补岣�.
When two or more ornaments are perceived together in the exact same wording, if there is neither a reason to select only one possibility nor a reason to exclude one possibility then that is a second form of 蝉补峁卥补谤补, in the shape of an absence of certainty.
Commentary:
A simple example of 补苍颈艣肠补测补-蝉补峁卥补谤补 is: mukha-肠补苍诲谤补峁� 辫补艣测腻尘颈, 鈥淚 see a moon-like face鈥� or 鈥淚 see a moon face.鈥� The compound mukha-candra is a simile in the first interpretation and a metaphor in the second. Without a context and so on, nothing favors one interpretation over the other.
