yatkramivijñeyaviṣayaṃ jñānaṃ tatkramabhāvi yathā devadattādivijñānaṃ jvālādigocaram kramivijñeyaviṣayaṃ ceśvarajñānam iti svabhāvahetuḥ /
A cognition whose object is cognizable successively must itself be successive, just as [we see] in the case of Devadatta's and others' cognition which has flames and similar [successive things] as its object; and God's cognition has objects that are cognizable successively - [this is] a natural reason.
