prayogaḥ yadyadvilakṣaṇanirbhāsaṃ jñānaṃ na tat tadālambanam, yathā rasādivijñānaṃ na śabdālambanaṃ śabdavijñānaṃ vā rasālambanam, mukhādivilakṣaṇanirbhāsāś ca pratibimbadhiya iti vyāpakaviruddhopalabdhiḥ //
The argument [may be formulated] as follows: When a cognition appears as different from something, that [something] cannot be its objective basis - just as the cognition of taste cannot have sound as its objective basis, nor can the cognition of sound have taste as its objective basis; and the cognitions of reflections appear as different from [real] faces and such things - thus [we have] the apprehension of something contrary to the pervader.
