Verse 1561

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

सादृश्यस्य विवेसो हि यथा तत्र प्रमीयते ।
सर्वावयवसामान्यविवेको गम्यते तथा ॥ १५६१ ॥

sarvāvayavasāmānyaviveko gamyate tathā || 1561 ||

In support of the same, an argument is put forward:—[see verse 1562 next]
