Verse 3636

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

अविकल्पमविभ्रान्तं तद्योगीश्वरमानसम् ।
विकल्पविभ्रमाक्रान्तं तद्ग्रहे च प्रसज्यते ॥ ३६३६ ॥

avikalpamavibhrāntaṃ tadyogīśvaramānasam |
vikalpavibhramākrāntaṃ tadgrahe ca prasajyate || 3636 ||

The consciousness of the mystic is free from conceptual content and is not erroneous; and if it apprehended the said universal, it would be something beset with conceptual content and error.—(3636)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

The Mystic Consciousness has been held to be valid Perception, because it is free from Conceptual Content and is not erroneous. If however, it envisaged the Universal as described above, then it would apprehend an illusory thing and thus become beset with Conceptual Content; and as apprehending the unreal thing in the shape of the Universal as assumed by other people, it would become beset with Error also.

Or both being taken as referring to both, there are two objectionable features.—(3636)
