Verse 3139
Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation by Ganganath Jha:
यथा च चक्षुषा सर्वान्भावान्वेत्तीति निष्फलम् ।
सर्वप्रत्यक्षदर्शित्वप्रतिज्ञाऽप्यफला तथा ॥ ३१३९ ॥yathā ca cakṣuṣā sarvānbhāvānvettīti niṣphalam |
sarvapratyakṣadarśitvapratijñā'pyaphalā tathā || 3139 ||“Just as the assertion that ‘one knows all things with his eyes’ is futile, so also would be the proposition that ‘there is a person capable of directly perceiving all things’.”—(3139)
Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):
This means that the Proposition is superfluous and also contrary to common experience.—(3139)
