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

गवयोपमिता या गौस्तज्ज्ञानग्राह्यशक्तता ।
उपमाबलसम्भूतसामर्थ्येन प्रतीयते ॥ १५९९ ॥

gavayopamitā yā gaustajjñānagrāhyaśaktatā |
upamābalasambhūtasāmarthyena pratīyate || 1599 ||

“(5) The cow is likened to the gavaya,—a cognition is produced by this likeness,—the potency in the object whereby it becomes apprehended by that cognition,—is debited on the strength of the said analogical cognition.”—(1599)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

The following Text describes the Presumption based upon Analogical Cognition:—[see verse 1599 above]

(5) When the object, Cow, is likened to the Gavaya, there is in the Cow the capacity to be apprehended by the Analogical Cognition; and this capacity is derived from the strength—Presumption—based upon that Analogical Cognition.—(1599)
