Summary:  conscious Person that the power of re-cognition is to be ascribed. Hence the Sankhya argument that re-cognition is evidence of the eternality of Buddhi does not hold, as re-cognition is a function of the conscious Person, not the instrument of Cognition. This raises doubts about the eternal or non-eternal nature of Buddhi, as it lacks clear characteristics of either. The argument of re-cognition being a proof of eternality is refuted, as it is the conscious Person, not the instrument, that is responsible for re-cognition. The examination of Buddhi's nature is essential in understanding the transient character of Cognition and its implications for the seeker of truth.
