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

यद्यप्यव्यतिरिक्तोऽयमाकारो बुद्धिरूपतः ।
तथापि बाह्यरूपत्वं भान्तैस्तस्यावसीयते ॥ १०२६ ॥

yadyapyavyatirikto'yamākāro buddhirūpataḥ |
tathāpi bāhyarūpatvaṃ bhāntaistasyāvasīyate || 1026 ||

Though this form of ‘Apoha’ is not different from the form of the cognition, yet its external character is apprehended only by deluded persons.—(1026)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

It has been urged (under 920, by Kumārila) that—“There would be apprehension therein of part of the cognition of the Horse itself, etc. etc”.

The answer to this is as follows:—[see verse 1026 above]

This is easily understood.—(1026)
