अत्राभिधीयते येषां जातानां स्थितिरिष्यते ।
तेषामेव तु नन्वेषा व्यवस्था सनिबन्धना ॥ २९२० ॥

atrābhidhīyate yeṣāṃ jātānāṃ sthitiriṣyate |
teṣāmeva tu nanveṣā vyavasthā sanibandhanā || 2920 ||

The answer to the above is as follows:—as a matter of fact, the distinction that has been made has some basis only in regard to those things that are held to continue to exist after being produced.—(2920)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

With the following Text, the Author begins the refutation seriatim of all the arguments that have been set forth by the Mīmāṃsaka, under Texts 2848 onwards:—[see verse 2920 above]

‘Has some basis’—i.e. subsists in a real entity; that is, because what does not exist cannot be operative.—(2920)

Question:—“What is this ‘distinction’?”

Answer:—[see verse 2921 next]
