Verse 1059

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

तस्य व्यक्तौ समर्थात्मा स एवेति यदीष्यते ।
तुल्यप्रत्यवमर्शेऽपि स शक्तो न तुरङ्गमः ॥ १०५९ ॥

tasya vyaktau samarthātmā sa eveti yadīṣyate |
tulyapratyavamarśe'pi sa śakto na turaṅgamaḥ || 1059 ||

If it be held that ‘that alone has the capacity to manifest it’—then, even though the subsequent determinate judgment is the same, that alone has the capacity to produce it, and not the horse.—(1059)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

‘Manifest it’—i.e. the particular Universal ‘Cow’.

‘That alone’,—i.e. the Variegated and other Cows, not the Horse.

If that be so, then, even when there is diversity, and there is no Commonalty, the variegated and other Cows alone,—not the Horse—would have the capacity to bring about the determinate judgment; even though this judgment would be the same. This view of ours also would not be incompatible.—(1059)

Question:—“What is the upshot of all this?”

Answer:—[see verse 1060 next]
