Verse 3282

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

यदि त्वदृष्टिमात्रेण सर्ववित्प्रतिषिध्यते ।
तदा मातृविवाहादिनिषेधोऽपि भवेत्तव ॥ ३२८२ ॥

yadi tvadṛṣṭimātreṇa sarvavitpratiṣidhyate |
tadā mātṛvivāhādiniṣedho'pi bhavettava || 3282 ||

If the omniscient person is denied on the ground of mere ‘non-apprehension’,—then you might also deny the marriage of your own mother and such other facts.—(3282)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

‘Such other facts’—includes the intercourse of....... and in that case there w ould be doubts regarding......

This has been thus declared—‘If, dull-visioned as you are, your non-apprehension should set aside things, then you would be damned j as it would be impossible to name your Father’.—(3282)

The following Text anticipates and rejects the Opponent’s answer to the above:—[see verse 3283 next]
