By mentioning error, convention, ignorance, and inference as mere semblances of perception, [it is clear that] the teacher intended a definition [of perception] as being free from conceptual construction and non-contradictory. The word "timira" [when used] in [the compound] "sataimiram" is synonymous with ignorance, as in [the expression] "timiraghnaṃ ca mandānām."
