According to those who hold that words denote positive entities, when the single word "blue" expresses the specific individuality of the lotus and other [blue things], why should there be any uncertainty ["is this a lotus or collyrium?"] regarding other particulars, since the thing [blue] has been denoted in its entirety? Because it is contradictory for one and the same thing to be both known and unknown to the same cognizer at the same time.
