1085 Verse 1562

Original

भूयोऽवयवसामान्ययोगो येनाधिगम्यते ।
सर्वावयवसामान्ययोगे तत्त्वं प्रसज्यते ॥ १५६२ ॥

bhūyo’vayavasāmānyayogo yenādhigamyate |
sarvāvayavasāmānyayoge tattvaṃ prasajyate || 1562 ||

Because that cognition which apprehends ‘the presence of several similar parts’ would also fall under ‘mutual negation’; (otherwise) if it were the ‘presence of all similar parts’ that is cognised, then there would ee identity.—(1562)

Kamalaśīla

‘Yena’—indicates the reason for what has been asserted above. What is meant is that—because, in the case of the Cognition of Similarity, what is cognised is the ‘presence of several similar parts’,—and not the ‘presence of all similar parts’,—therefore this is a case of ‘Mutual Negation’.—Otherwise, if all parts were similar, then there would be identity,—i.e. the Gavaya would be the same as the Cow.—(1562)
