What Uddyotakara said regarding Ācārya Diṅnāga: "If apoha is the denotable meaning of the word, then its own meaning must be stated as distinct from the denotable meaning. But if that [apoha] itself is its own meaning, then this contradicts [your statement] that 'an utterance is said to denote when it effects the exclusion of other word-meanings in its own meaning' - for this sentence would then mean that 'a non-denoting [utterance] denotes'."
