Verse 3084

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

एवं नानेन्द्रियाधीनविज्ञानान्तरसङ्गतिः ।
प्रत्यक्षे कारणं क्लृप्ता वेदे त्वेषा न दृश्यते ॥ ३०८४ ॥

evaṃ nānendriyādhīnavijñānāntarasaṅgatiḥ |
pratyakṣe kāraṇaṃ klṛptā vede tveṣā na dṛśyate || 3084 ||

Thus, in the case of the validity of sense-perception, there is the definite basis in the form of corroboration by other cognitions produced by several sense-organs; but such is not found to be the case with the veda.—(3084)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

It has been argued under Text 2903, that—“just as in the case of the validity of Sense-perception, there is the definite basis in the form of corroboration by another Cognition produced by the same sense-organ,—the same should be asserted to be the basis in the case of the Veda also”.

The answer to this is as follows:—[see verse 3084 above]

‘Such is, etc. etc.’—i.e. Corroboration by other Cognitions produced by several Sense-organs.—(3084)

Question:—“How is this found to be the basis in the case of Sense-perception?”

Answer:—[see verse 3085 next]
