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

कायादेव ततो ज्ञानं प्राणापानाद्यधिष्ठितात् ।
युक्तं जायत इत्येतत्कम्बलाश्वतरोदितम् ॥ १८६४ ॥

kāyādeva tato jñānaṃ prāṇāpānādyadhiṣṭhitāt |
yuktaṃ jāyata ityetatkambalāśvataroditam || 1864 ||

“From this it follows that the right view is that consciousness proceeds from the body itself which is equipped with the five life-breaths—prāṇa, apāna and the rest;—as has been declared by Kambalāśvatara.”—(1864)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

The Sūtra is—“It is from the Body itself, etc.”—which has been pronounced by Kambalāśvatara.—(1864)
