Verse 3072

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

अतो यदनपेक्षत्वाद्वेदे प्रामाण्यमुच्यते ।
तदसिद्धं यतः सोऽपि कर्त्तारं समपेक्षते ॥ ३०७२ ॥

ato yadanapekṣatvādvede prāmāṇyamucyate |
tadasiddhaṃ yataḥ so'pi karttāraṃ samapekṣate || 3072 ||

Thus, what has been asserted regarding the validity of the Veda being self-sufficient, cannot be admitted,—because as a matter of fact, that also is dependent upon the author.—(3072)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

It has been asserted under Text 2896, that—“Thus, because the validity of the Veda is accepted on the ground of its being self-sufficient, etc. etc.”. The answer to this is as follows:—[see verse 3072 above]

‘That also’—i.e. the Veda.—(3072)
