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

नहि तत्र परस्यास्ति प्रत्यासत्तिर्निबन्धनम् ।
यथा साकारविज्ञानपक्षेऽर्थप्रतिबिम्बकम् ॥ २०२० ॥

nahi tatra parasyāsti pratyāsattirnibandhanam |
yathā sākāravijñānapakṣe'rthapratibimbakam || 2020 ||

For the other party, ‘proximity’ could not be the basis for such apprehension,—as there is under the view that cognition has a form, in the shape of the ‘reflected image’.—(2020)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

For the other party’,—one who holds the view that Cognition is form-less; whose opinion is that “it is the external Object that has form, the Cognition, is formless”.—(2020)
