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

असतो नरशृङ्गादेर्यच्च भिन्नं स्वलक्षणम् ।
बुद्धिदीपादिवत्सर्वं व्यावृत्तं तत्स्थिरादपि ॥ १०५५ ॥
असद्रूपं तथा चेदं न शब्दादिस्वलक्षणम् ।
इत्थं निर्दिष्टभेदेन भवत्येवान्वयोऽमुना ॥ १०५६ ॥

asato naraśṛṅgāderyacca bhinnaṃ svalakṣaṇam |
buddhidīpādivatsarvaṃ vyāvṛttaṃ tatsthirādapi || 1055 ||
asadrūpaṃ tathā cedaṃ na śabdādisvalakṣaṇam |
itthaṃ nirdiṣṭabhedena bhavatyevānvayo'munā || 1056 ||

The specific individuality that is differentiated from ‘man’s horns’ and other non-existent things is also differentiated from permanent things,—just as the cognition, the lamp-flame, etc. are;—the specific individuality of sound, etc. is not a non-existent thing.—In this way there can be the assertion of concomitance through differences as indicated.—(1055-1056)

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

That Specific Individuality which is differentiated from the non-existent, because it is not non-existent,—is also differentiated from Permanent Things,—as we find in the case of Cognition, Lamp-flame and such things.

The necessary concomitance can be asserted in this way,—without touching upon any particulars; and there would be nothing incongruous in this.

The concomitance shown here is in regard to the Probans ‘because it exists’; [the inference being in the form—‘The Specific Individuality of Sounds, etc. is differentiated from Permanent Things, because it exists,—like Cognition, Lamp-flame, etc.’].—(1055-1056)
