Does not that earth-artifice come under popular truth?“sammutiñāṇaṁ saccārammaṇaññeva na aññārammaṇan”ti? Andhaka:Āmantā. Andhaka:Then why exempt popular knowledge from the search for truth?Nanu pathavīkasiṇaṁ samāpattiṁ samāpannassa atthi ñāṇaṁ, pathavīkasiṇañca sammutisaccamhīti? Andhaka:Āmantā. The same argument applies to the other artifices, and to gifts as stated above (Kv 5.5).Hañci pathavīkasiṇaṁ samāpattiṁ samāpannassa atthi ñāṇaṁ, pathavīkasiṇañca sammutisaccamhi, tena vata re vattabbe—Theravādin:Then according to you, popular knowledgehasonly Truth as its object. But is it the object of popular knowledge to understand the fact and nature of Ill, to put away the Cause, to realize the Cessation, to develop the Path thereto? You must deny. (Hence the need for a distinction between truths.)“sammutiñāṇaṁ saccārammaṇaññeva na aññārammaṇan”ti.
