I, 326.—Accordingly, “Inference is of two sorts: one [concerns an object] the perception of which has [already] occurred [at some point]; the other [concerns an object] the perception of which has [yet] to occur (utpādyapratīti). But the inference of [entities] such as God [concerns an object] the perception of which has [yet] to occur (utpādyapratīti). [...]”.
