tathā nāpi śabdakāle 'rtho 'vaśyaṃ sambhavati dilīpamahāsammatādiśabdā vartamānās tadarthastu bhūto bhaviṣyaṃśceti kuto 'rthaiḥ śabdasyānvetṛtvam /
Similarly, the referent need not exist at the time of the word, as the words "Dilīpa" and "Mahāsammata" exist in the present, while their referents [existed] in the past and will [exist] in the future respectively - so how can there be concomitance between words and [their] referents?
