Given below are two statements. In the light of the statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

The correct reading is that the first statement is false while the second is true.

Statement 1 is false because the Hindu view of communication does not treat language merely as a tool to understand an illusory world, it holds language as a means toward genuine knowledge and realisation of truth.

In this view the word is a path to insight, not simply an instrument for grasping mere illusion.

Statement 2 is true because, according to the Hindu view, the hearing and understanding of language are indeed for the realisation of some state of affairs.

Grasping the meaning of speech leads the listener to apprehend the reality or situation the words point to.

Since the first claim misstates the role of language and the second states it rightly, only the second can be held true.
