So, we were studying the Manduqya Kariqa Kariqa.

We have just completed the second chapter.

So today I wanted to give you a sort of review of the second chapter to see where we are now.

The Mandukyo Upanishad itself was the focus of the first chapter.

You know the four chapters of the Mandu Kariqa Karika, the text itself? The text itself is built around the Mandu Kappanishan.

And Gauda Pada wrote verses on the Mandu Kupanishad, which are called Manduqya Karika.

And these verses are organized in four chapters.

Chapter 1 is called Agamaprakarana, the chapter dealing with the

Upanishad itself, the original text. So chapter 1 is built around the Upanishad. Upanishad is embedded

in the first chapter. The second chapter is called Waitathya Prakarana, the chapter dealing with falsity.

Not that the chapter is false, but it deals with the falsity of the universe.

The universe is an appearance, it's not true in itself.

So, and then, so the aim in chapter two is to demonstrate with the help of reason and experience that this universe is not as we see it to be.

Waitathya, literally, it's an interesting word.

Instead of saying falseity straight out, the Sanskrit word for false it is mithyatwa waitatya the Sanskrit word if you literally translated it means

not as such not the way you see it
