athānyatas tasyāpyanyata iti cet, evaṃ tarhyanāditvān na kenacit kriyata itidarśayati sarveṣām ityādi / sarveṣām anabhijñānāṃ pūrvapūrvaprasiddhitaḥ / siddhaḥ sambandha ityevaṃ sambandhādir na vidyate //
If [one says it was learned] from another, [and] that one from yet another, then due to [its] beginninglessness it was not created by anyone – this is shown by [the verse beginning with] "sarveṣām" [which states that] for all those who are ignorant [the Connection] is established through earlier and earlier tradition, thus there is no beginning of the Connection.
