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

संसृष्टैकत्वनानात्वविकल्प(रहितात्मनाम् ।
अवस्तुत्वादपोहानां) नैव भेदोऽपि विद्यते ॥ ९२६ ॥

saṃsṛṣṭaikatvanānātvavikalpa(rahitātmanām |
avastutvādapohānāṃ) naiva bhedo'pi vidyate || 926 ||

“There can be no difference among Apohas, because they are non-entities, and devoid of all such conceptions as ‘related ‘one’ and’ many.”—[Ślokavārtika-Apoha 45]—(926)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

Such conceptions as ‘related’, ‘one’ and ‘many’ are possible only in regard to an entity, not to a non-entity; and as Apohas are non-entities, there can be no such conceptions in regard to them as being ‘mutually related’ and so forth; how then can there be any difference among them?—(926)
