nanu ca kramavartino hi varṇāḥ krameṇaiva cānubhūtāḥ, yathānubhavaṃ ca smaraṇaṃ, tat kathaṃ samastavarṇanirbhāsi smārttajñānam ekaṃ yujyate sphoṭamantareṇa, na cākrame jñāte kramiṇāṃ varṇānāṃ pratibhāso yukta ityāśaṅkyāha

And when something is cognized as non-sequential, the appearance of sequential letters is not logical."
