Avoiding all sciences that have disputation only for their highest object, I have so studied the Agama as to have duly understood their true import. By Agama I understand the injunctions of the Vedas. I also include in that word those sciences based on logic which have for their object the explanation of the real meaning of the Vedas.
अन्यत्र तर्कशास्त्रेभ्य आगमार्थं यथागमम्। आगमो वेदवादास्तु तर्कशास्त्राणि चागमः॥
