>I have studied Sanskrit literature extensively and do not know what this means.

This means a sentence can often have many different meaning, not just the literal one suggested by the words.

The idea is you either accept multiple meanings or settle it through debate.

I am not criticizing this, this is fundamentally what makes literature and poetry interesting.

But this makes it really difficult to draw a line between philosophy and science.
