Verse 2070

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

सबहिर्देशसम्बद्ध इत्यनेन ननूच्यते ।
ग्राह्याकारस्य संवित्तिर्ग्राहकानुभवादृते ॥ २०७० ॥

sabahirdeśasambaddha ityanena nanūcyate |
grāhyākārasya saṃvittirgrāhakānubhavādṛte || 2070 ||

“The cognition of the form of the apprehended (object) is spoken of as ‘connected with external space’, and as appearing without the cognition of the apprehender (cognition).”—(2070)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

In the following Text, the Opponent urges that the Reasons are well-known and ‘admissible’:—[see verse 2070 above]

“As a matter of fact, ‘the External Object is directly perceived as having a shape and as connected with external space’—as asserted by Śabara, the author of the Bhāṣya (on Mīmāṃsā-Sūtra 1.1.5),—where it has been explained that there is Cognition of the Apprehended Object, even when there is no Cognition of the Apprehending Cognition. Hence the Reason ‘Because it is not apprehended on the apprehension of the other’ becomes established and hence ‘admissible’.”—(2070)
