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

यद्रूपनिश्चयो यस्माज्जायते यत्र वस्तुनि ।
तद्विपर्ययशङ्कायास्तत एव निवर्त्तनम् ॥ २९३५ ॥

yadrūpaniścayo yasmājjāyate yatra vastuni |
tadviparyayaśaṅkāyāstata eva nivarttanam || 2935 ||

When a firm conviction has appeared in a certain form in connection with a certain thing, from a certain cause,—all suspicions to the contrary are removed by that same conviction.—(2935)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

Yadrūpaniścayaḥ’—in a certain form.

Tadviparyaya, etc.’—the suspicion regarding that form or character.

Tata eva’—from the conviction regarding the same form.—(2935)

An example is cited in support of this:—[see verse 2936 next]
