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

अन्यथा गुणजात्यादिभिन्न एव भवेदयम् ।
योगिभेदात्प्रतिव्यक्ति यथा योगो विभिद्यते ॥ ८४८ ॥

anyathā guṇajātyādibhinna eva bhavedayam |
yogibhedātprativyakti yathā yogo vibhidyate || 848 ||

If it were not so, then this (inherence) would be different in the various universals like ‘quality’, etc.,—just as conjunction varies with each conjunct factor.—(848)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

If it were not so’,—i.e. if the Inherence of the Universal ‘Quality’ in particular Qualities were not the same as the Inherence of the Universal ‘Substance’ in particular Substances,—then Inherence should vary with each substratum; just as Conjunction does.—(848)
