sublative

Nor can it be shown that (in the case of Brahman) there is no possibility of ulterior sublative cognition; for there may be such sublative cognition, viz. the one expressed in the judgment 'the Reality is a Void.'

To this it must not be objected that the substrate was previously concealed, and that hence it is the special function of the word 'that' to present the substrate in its non-concealed aspect; for if, previously to the sublative judgment, the substrate was not evident (as an object of consciousness), there is no possibility of its becoming the object either of an error or its sublation.

Cessation dependent on a sublative act of the mind, and cessation not so dependent cannot be established, there being no (complete) interruption.

The Vedanta-Sutras with the Commentary by Sankaracarya Sacred Books of the East, Volume 1 George Thibaut 1881

But, it now may be said, we observe that fear and other affections, which are positive entities and produced by previous cognitions, are destroyed by sublative acts of cognition!

The Vedanta-Sutras with the Commentary by Ramanuja — Sacred Books of the East, Volume 48 George Thibaut 1881

When we form the sublative judgment 'this is not silver,' the sublation is founded on an independent positive judgment, viz. 'this is a shell': in the case under discussion, however, the sublation would not be known (through an independent positive judgment), but would be assumed merely on the ground that it cannot be helped.

The Vedanta-Sutras with the Commentary by Ramanuja — Sacred Books of the East, Volume 48 George Thibaut 1881

Cessation which is dependent on a sublative act of the mind, and cessation which is not so dependent are both impossible, 'on account of the absence of interruption.'

The Vedanta-Sutras with the Commentary by Sankaracarya Sacred Books of the East, Volume 1 George Thibaut 1881

The hypothesis of a beginningless series of mental impressions would lead only to a baseless regressus ad infinitum, sublative of the entire phenomenal world, and would in no way establish your position.

The Vedanta-Sutras with the Commentary by Sankaracarya Sacred Books of the East, Volume 1 George Thibaut 1881

To the triad there mentioned they give the names 'cessation dependent on a sublative act of the mind,' 'cessation not dependent on such an act,' and 'space.'

The Vedanta-Sutras with the Commentary by Sankaracarya Sacred Books of the East, Volume 1 George Thibaut 1881

By 'cessation dependent on a sublative act of the mind,' we have to understand such destruction of entities as is preceded by an act of thought [397]; by 'cessation not so dependent' is meant destruction of the opposite kind [398]; by 'space' is meant absence in general of something covering (or occupying space).

In the case of the double moon, on the other hand, the defect of vision on which the erroneous appearance depends is _not_ the object of the sublative art of cognition, i.e. the cognition of the oneness of the moon, and it therefore remains non-sublated; hence the false appearance of a double moon may persist.
