Original

क्रियाकालादियोगोऽपि पूर्वमेव निराकृतः ।
तस्मात्साङ्केतिका एते न व्यक्तिष्वपि भाविनः ॥ ११४२ ॥

kriyākālādiyogo’pi pūrvameva nirākṛtaḥ |
tasmātsāṅketikā ete na vyaktiṣvapi bhāvinaḥ || 1142 ||

The connection of action, time, etc. has been already rejected before. Hence all these also are purely conventional, and do not really subsist in individuals also.—(1142)

Kamalaśīla

It has been argued (under Text 973, by Kumārila) that—“the Apoha can have no connection with Gender and Number, etc.”; where the ‘etcetera’ is meant to include the connection of Action, Time and so forth.

This is answered in the following—[see verse 1142 above]

‘Before’,—i.e. in course of the rejection of such concepts as Action, Time and so forth, the connection also of Action, etc. has been discarded; hence these also cannot belong to things.

‘Conventional’—created by Convention.—(1142)
