Verse 2744

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

केवलैन्द्रियकत्वे च हेतावत्र प्रकल्पिते ।
जात्या बाधितया पूर्वं व्यभिचारो न गम्यते ॥ २७४४ ॥

kevalaindriyakatve ca hetāvatra prakalpite |
jātyā bādhitayā pūrvaṃ vyabhicāro na gamyate || 2744 ||

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

The answer to this is as follows:—[see verse 2744 above]

‘Already’—under the chapter dealing with the ‘Universal—(2744)
