Verse 3101

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

बाधकारणदुष्टत्वज्ञानेऽप्युक्ताऽनवस्थितिः ।
तावता तस्य मिथ्यात्वं ग्रहीतुं तन्न पार्यते ॥ ३१०१ ॥

bādhakāraṇaduṣṭatvajñāne'pyuktā'navasthitiḥ |
tāvatā tasya mithyātvaṃ grahītuṃ tanna pāryate || 3101 ||

It has been already explained that the idea of falsity of the cognition being ‘due to the presence of sublating cognitions and to the cognition of its source being defective’ involves infinite regress. Hence the falsity (invalidity) cannot be recognised merely on the basis of the said cognitions.—(3101)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

It has been argued under Text 2914, that—“It is only when there appears the Cognition of the truth being otherwise that the falsity of a Cognition becomes recognised”.

The answer to this is as follows:—[see verse 3101 above]

‘Already explained’—under Text 3004.

‘Tat’—Hence.—(3101)
