If at the time of apprehension that universal known as "existence" is not touched by sense-perception, and only the particular is apprehended, then that mere particular being apprehended would become devoid of existence, lacking the essential nature known as "being," [thus] becoming characterless, [and] therefore could not be apprehended by sense-perception due to [its] being devoid of existence.
