When something contrary [to x] obtains a footing somewhere, then x cannot secure a footing there - just as darkness cannot secure a footing on ground flooded with lamplight; and [similarly] the perception of nairātmya, which is contrary to the host of defects, [obtains a footing] in a person who has directly realized nairātmya - thus [this is] the perception of contraries.
