Verse 2482

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

वास्तवी चानुमा सर्वा द्वयसिद्धमपेक्षते ।
दृष्टान्तादि ततस्तेन दृष्टान्तो धर्म्यसिद्धिभाक् ॥ २४८२ ॥

vāstavī cānumā sarvā dvayasiddhamapekṣate |
dṛṣṭāntādi tatastena dṛṣṭānto dharmyasiddhibhāk || 2482 ||

Every right inference requires such corroborative instance, etc, as are admitted by both parties. in the case of the inference in question however, the objective basis (of the reason) is not so admitted.—(2482)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

As regards the Corroborative Instance cited by the Mīmāṃsaka, in Text 2143,—‘like the Universal Ga postulated by the other party’,—that also is. one of which the very basic object is not admissible. This is what is shown in the following:—[see verse 2482 above]

‘Instance, etc.’—The ‘etc.’ is meant to include the Reason (Probans) and other factors.—(2482)
