By mentioning [the term] "sāmānyato-dṛṣṭa" [inference from universal], [the text] indicates the impossibility of viśeṣato-dṛṣṭa [inference from particular], because only when the relation between a particular mark and marked object has been directly perceived, [and] when that very marked object is inferred by that very mark at a later time to remove doubt, then [such] an inference is called "viśeṣato-dṛṣṭa."
