Verse 3131

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

अथापि प्रकृतं किञ्चित्तैलोदकघृतादिव (य ?)त् ।
तेन सर्वेण सर्वज्ञस्तथाऽप्यस्तु न वार्यते ॥ ३१३१ ॥

athāpi prakṛtaṃ kiñcittailodakaghṛtādiva (ya ?)t |
tena sarveṇa sarvajñastathā'pyastu na vāryate || 3131 ||

“If the thing related to the context is some such thing as oil, water or clarified butter,—and if a person knowing all about such a thing is called ‘all-knowing’,—then he may be so; we do not deny that.”—(3131)

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

“If what is meant by the term ‘all’ are things other than Dharma and Adharma,—such as Oil, Water, Clarified Butter, etc.—and the Person is regarded as ‘all-knowing’ on account of his knowledge of these things,——then your argument is superfluous”.—(3131)
