Verse 1223

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

नामजात्यादयः सर्वे योज्यन्ते वाऽनयेति सा ।
तथोक्ता कल्पना प्रोक्ता प्रतीतिरभिलापिनी ॥ १२२३ ॥

nāmajātyādayaḥ sarve yojyante vā'nayeti sā |
tathoktā kalpanā proktā pratītirabhilāpinī || 1223 ||

Name, universal and all the rest are connected by the said conceptual content; hence what is spoken of (by Diṅnāga’s definition) is the same conceptual content which has been described as ‘the idea associated with verbal expression’.—(1223)

Or, the expression ‘nāmajātyādiyojanā’ may be explained in another way (as standing for kalpanā, Conceptual Content, itself):—‘Yojanas’ is that wherewith one is connected;—and this ‘yojanā’ of ‘Name, Universal, etc.’ would be the same Conceptual Content, explained as ‘Idea associated with verbal expression’; so that there is nothing defective in the definition propounded by Diṅnāga.

This is what is explained in the following—[see verse 1223 above]
