yannāmasaṃstavābhyāsavāsanāparipākajaḥ |
vikalpo varttate teṣāṃ tatprasiddhaṃ bhavāntaram || 1944 ||

Because the conceptual cognition of the said persons is born of the fruition of the impressions left by the repeated cognition of the name during that same birth,—therefore ‘another birth’ becomes established.—(1944)

Kamalaśīla

The following text describes the upshot of the above arguments:—[see verse 1944 above]

‘Name’—verbal expression.—‘Cognition’—apprehension, knowledge;—‘abhyāsa’, repeated appearance.

The compound ‘yannāma, etc, etc,’ is to be expounded as ‘that birth during which there has been repeated cognition of the Name’,—this compound being in accordance with a particular rule (of Pāṇini’s)—‘Saptamī, etc.’;—the impressions are left by this repeated Cognition;—these Impressions have this ‘fruition’, development, attainment of their full character, by producing their effects;—and it is from this ‘fruition’ that the said Conceptual Cognition is born.

‘Of the said persons’—i.e. of new-born infaṇts.—(1944)
