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

अप्रामाण्यव्यवच्छेदः स्वत एवैवमिष्यताम् ।
अतो न साधनं युक्तमप्रामाण्यनिवृत्तये ॥ २९३७ ॥
अप्रमाणद्वयाशङ्का यदि वर्त्तेत तत्र तु ।
प्रामाण्यनिश्चयो न स्याद्भ्रान्त्या तद्विषयीकृतेः ॥ २९३८ ॥

apramāṇadvayāśaṅkā yadi vartteta tatra tu |
prāmāṇyaniścayo na syādbhrāntyā tadviṣayīkṛteḥ || 2938 ||
