Verse 3149

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

सुगतो यदि सर्वज्ञः कपिलो नेति का प्रमा ।
अथोभावपि सर्वज्ञौ मतभेदस्तयोः कथम् ॥ ३१४९ ॥

sugato yadi sarvajñaḥ kapilo neti kā pramā |
athobhāvapi sarvajñau matabhedastayoḥ katham || 3149 ||

“If Buddha is omniscient, then what is the proof for Kapila not being so.—if both are omniscient, then how is it that there is difference of opinion between them?”—(3149)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

If it be said that—Buddha is the only one to be accepted as such—then the Mīmāṃsaka’s answer to this is as follows:—[see verse 3149 above]

It might be said that both are omniscient;—in view of this, it is added—

‘If both, etc. etc.’—(3149)
