Verse 1142

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

क्रियाकालादियोगोऽपि पूर्वमेव निराकृतः ।
तस्मात्साङ्केतिका एते न व्यक्तिष्वपि भाविनः ॥ ११४२ ॥

kriyākālādiyogo'pi pūrvameva nirākṛtaḥ |
tasmātsāṅketikā ete na vyaktiṣvapi bhāvinaḥ || 1142 ||

The connection of action, time, etc. has been already rejected before. Hence all these also are purely conventional, and do not really subsist in individuals also.—(1142)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

It has been argued (under Text 973, by Kumārila) that—“the Apoha can have no connection with Gender and Number, etc.”; where the ‘etcetera’ is meant to include the connection of Action, Time and so forth.

This is answered in the following—[see verse 1142 above]

‘Before’,—i.e. in course of the rejection of such concepts as Action, Time and so forth, the connection also of Action, etc. has been discarded; hence these also cannot belong to things.

‘Conventional’—created by Convention.—(1142)
