Verse 1308

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

तदत्र न विरोधोऽस्ति विकल्पेन सहानयोः ।
नचापि विषयो भिन्नस्तदर्थाध्यवसायतः ॥ १३०८ ॥

tadatra na virodho'sti vikalpena sahānayoḥ |
nacāpi viṣayo bhinnastadarthādhyavasāyataḥ || 1308 ||

There is no incompatibility between the conceptual content and the said reasons; nor is there difference in their objects; as the object apprehended by the one is the same as that apprehended by the other.—(1308)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

Both the Reasons adduced (in the preceding Text) are ‘Inconclusive’; as no incompatibility has been indicated between the Reasons and the contrary of the conclusion sought to be proved by them.

‘Anayoḥ’—of the two Reasons.

‘Nor is there difference, etc. etc.’;—that is to say, even though the Conceptual Content is objective (has an object), yet the assertion that ‘their objects are different’ is ‘inadmissible’.—(1308)
