Praśastamati however says: "At the beginning of creation, human practices must have been preceded by instruction from another, because later the practices of enlightened beings are found to be restricted to specific objects - just as in the case of children who have not yet learned verbal usage, their verbal usage regarding cows and other [things] is restricted to specific objects [and is] preceded by instruction from their mother and others."
