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

तस्माद्यत्स्मर्यते तत्स्यात्सादृश्येन विशेषितम् ।
प्रमेयमुपमानस्य सादृश्यं वा तदाश्रितम् ॥ १५३५ ॥

tasmādyatsmaryate tatsyātsādṛśyena viśeṣitam |
prameyamupamānasya sādṛśyaṃ vā tadāśritam || 1535 ||

“Thus that which is remembered, and which is qualified by the (perceived) similarity, is the object that is apprehended by analogical cognition. or, the object of the said cognition may consist of the similarity itself as subsisting in that (remembered) thing.”—[Ślokavārtika-upamāna, 37.]—(1535)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

Because Analogical Cognition is as described above, therefore the Cow that is remembered and which is qualified by the similarity of the Gavaya (seen) is the object apprehended by that Cognition.—Or it may be the Similarity itself as subsisting in the Cow.—(1535)
