Verse 454

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

ज्ञाते चाविद्यमानत्वाद्यौ संशयविपर्ययौ ।
बाधित्वा तौ लभेतैव प्रत्यभिज्ञा प्रमाणताम् ॥ ४५४ ॥

jñāte cāvidyamānatvādyau saṃśayaviparyayau |
bādhitvā tau labhetaiva pratyabhijñā pramāṇatām || 454 ||

“Inasmuch as there is no doubt or mistake in regard to what is cognised (by recognition),—recognition acquires the character of the ‘means of right cognition’ after having set aside both.”—(454)

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

Inasmuch as Doubt and Mistake do not exist at all in regard to the thing recognised,—having been dispelled, like cold in a place surrounded by a large mass of flaming fire.—(454)
