1716 Verse 2721

Original

अन्त्यवर्णे हि विज्ञाते सर्वसंस्कारकारितम् ।
स्मरणं यौगपद्येन सर्ववर्णेषु जायते ॥ २७२१ ॥

antyavarṇe hi vijñāte sarvasaṃskārakāritam |
smaraṇaṃ yaugapadyena sarvavarṇeṣu jāyate || 2721 ||

What happens is that—when the final letter in the word has been cognised, the impressions left by the cognition of all the letters brings about the remembrance of all the letters simultaneously.—(2721)

Kamalaśīla

What is meant by this is as follows First of all, there is apprehension (of the Letters),—then the Remembrances immediately following from them come about in the same order as the Letters;—then from these Remembrances, there follows the cumulative cognition of all the Letters,—this cognition also is of the nature of Remembrance; because it only envisages things that have been previously perceived.—(2721)
