Original

अतः सत्यत्वमिथ्यात्वहेतूनां नच संश्रयात् ।
प्रज्ञादयाऽकृपादीनामभावान्नास्ति तद्द्वयम् ॥ २३५५ ॥

ataḥ satyatvamithyātvahetūnāṃ naca saṃśrayāt |
prajñādayā’kṛpādīnāmabhāvānnāsti taddvayam || 2355 ||

Thus, inasmuch as the causes of truthfulness and falsity,—in the share (a) of wisdom and mercy and (b) of absence of mercy, etc.,—are not there, the said two qualities cannot belong to the Veda.—(2355)

Kamalaśīla

Summing up the argument, the Author proceeds to show that when we do not find the causes (of truthfulness and falsity), there cannot be any possibility of the Veda being either true or false:—[see verse 2355 above]

Wisdom, etc. are the causes of truthfulness, while the absence of mercy, etc. are the causes of falsity,—respectively,

‘The two’—i.e. Truthfulness and Falsity.—(2355)
