Verse 2725

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

तदारूढास्ततो वर्णा न दूरार्थावबोधनात्।
शब्दादथ मतिस्तेन लौकिकैरभिधीयते ॥ २७२५ ॥

tadārūḍhāstato varṇā na dūrārthāvabodhanāt |
śabdādatha matistena laukikairabhidhīyate || 2725 ||

Thus the letters do enter into it; as the things denoted are not far removed from them; this is the reason why people speak of the cognition as proceeding from the word.—(2725)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

‘Enter into it’—i.e. enter into the said Cumulative Cognition.

‘Laukikaiḥ’—the nominal affix has been used here in the reflective sense.—(2725)
