[Someone might object:] "Just as when consciousness is pervaded by the perception of nairātmya there is no room for the arising of its contrary - the perception of ātman - similarly there would be no room for the perception of nairātmya when the mind is pervaded by the perception of ātman, since the contradiction is equal [in both cases]. Therefore, since the perception of nairātmya would be impossible for anyone, [your] reason is unestablished."
