Verse 7.166.6

ख्यातिरख्यातिरित्यत्र वाचोयुक्तिरवास्तवी ।
किं तत्र ख्यापनं नाम स्याद्वाप्यख्यापनं च किम् ॥ ६ ॥

khyātirakhyātirityatra vācoyuktiravāstavī |
kiṃ tatra khyāpanaṃ nāma syādvāpyakhyāpanaṃ ca kim || 6 ||

Its name being nameless, whatever appellation they put to it, is not opposite but inappropriate to it; what is the good therefore of giving it a name or no name at all.
