आगमे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

Original

भावतस्तु न पर्याया नापर्यायाश्च वाचकाः ।
नह्येकं बाह्यमेतेषामनेकं चेति वर्णितम् ॥ १०३३ ॥

bhāvatastu na paryāyā nāparyāyāśca vācakāḥ |
nahyekaṃ bāhyameteṣāmanekaṃ ceti varṇitam || 1033 ||

In reality, words are neither synonymous nor not-synonymous; as it has been explained that what is denoted by them is neither one and the same nor diverse.—(1033)

Kamalaśīla

If what is denoted by words were really different or non-different, then they could be either synonymous or not-synonymous. As a matter of fact, however, it has been explained above (under Text, 871) that neither Specific Individuality, nor the Universal, nor what is possessed of the Universal, can be really denoted by words.—(1033)

“How then is there the restriction regarding words being synonymous and not-synonymous?”

Answer:—[see verse 1034 next]
