Verse 2483

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

सर्वश्चायं प्रयत्नस्ते गकारैकत्वसिद्धये ।
तत्र प्रत्यक्षबाधा च दुर्निवारोदिता तव ॥ २४८३ ॥

sarvaścāyaṃ prayatnaste gakāraikatvasiddhaye |
tatra pratyakṣabādhā ca durnivāroditā tava || 2483 ||

All, this attempt of yours is for the purpose of proving the oneness of the letter ‘ga’; and this is clearly and undeniably annulled by perception, as already explained to you.—(2483)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

Further, even when the first party does not state it in so many words, that is regarded as to be proved which he has in mind; and as a matter of fact, it is not merely the Universal ‘Ga’ which you have in your mind as to be proved; what you really desire is to prove, through this Universal, the one-ness of the letter ‘Ga’; and it has been already shown before that such a Proposition as the latter is annulled by Perception and other Means of Cognition.

This is what is shown in the following:—[see verse 2483 above]

‘This attempt’—at denying the substratum of the Universal ‘Ga’.

‘Annulled by Perception’—The particle ‘ca’ includes ‘annulment by Inference’ also.

‘Explained’—under the Text 2462 et seq.—(2483)
