अस्तु तर्हि ससारूप्यं विज्ञानं बाह्यवेदकम् ।
तस्यापि सर्वथाऽयोगान्न युक्ता वेदकस्थितिः ॥ २०३६ ॥

[Says the other party]—“the cognition endowed with similarity of form may be the apprehender of the external object”.—That also being impossible, it cannot have the position of the apprehender.—(2036)

Kamalaśīla

It has thus been proved that there can be no apprehension of Objects by a Cognition that does not bear any imprint (objective). The other view—that there can be none even by the Cognition that does bear such an imprint,—is now taken up and expounded:—[see verse 2036 above]

There can be no real form in the Cognition, on the basis of which the exact nature of things could be determined; and a Cognition with an unreal form could not apprehend the Object; as such form is present in wrong Cognition also.—(2036)
