Verse 1632

उपमायाः प्रमाणत्वे विस्तरेण निराकृते ।
अर्थापत्तेस्तदुत्थाया वारितैव प्रमाणता ॥ १६३२ ॥

upamāyāḥ pramāṇatve vistareṇa nirākṛte |
arthāpattestadutthāyā vāritaiva pramāṇatā || 1632 ||

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

This is refuted in the following—[see verse 1632 above]

Even granting the validity of Analogical Cognition, the Presumption based upon that cognition cannot be regarded as being a distinct Means or Form of Cognition, as it apprehends what is already apprehended; and also because there is no separate cognisable thing, in the shape of Potency, which could be cognised through it.

This is what is explained in the following—[see verses 1633-1634 next]
