Verse 2936

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

यथा धूमादिलिङ्गेभ्यः पावकाद्यस्तितागतौ ।
तन्नास्तित्वव्यबच्छेदस्तत एवोपपद्यते ॥ २९३६ ॥

yathā dhūmādiliṅgebhyaḥ pāvakādyastitāgatau |
tannāstitvavyabacchedastata evopapadyate || 2936 ||

When the existence of fire has become cognised through indicatives like smoke,—the idea of the non-existence of fire becomes discarded by that same cognition.—(2936)

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

‘The idea of its non-existence, etc. etc.’—i.e. the non-existence of the Fire.—(2936)
