Verse 1090

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation by Ganganath Jha:

न वाच्यं वाचकं वापि परमार्थेन किञ्चन ।
क्षणभङ्गिषु भावेषु व्यापकत्ववियोगतः ॥ १०९० ॥

na vācyaṃ vācakaṃ vāpi paramārthena kiñcana |
kṣaṇabhaṅgiṣu bhāveṣu vyāpakatvaviyogataḥ || 1090 ||

In reality, there can be nothing that can be either denoter or denoted,—as all things being in perpetual flux, no concomitance is possible.—(1090)

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

‘Because no concomitance is possible’;—that is to say, the Specific Individuality cannot be concomitant with—present at the time of—the making of the Convention and that of the using of the word.—(1090)
