1895 Verse 3027

Original

त्रिसत्यताऽपि देवानां नैव निश्चितिकारणम् ।
आद्यान्निश्चित्य सद्भावे नैव स्यात्परतोऽप्यसौ ॥ ३०२७ ॥

ādyānniścitya sadbhāve naiva syātparato’pyasau || 3027 ||

The fact of the deities being called ‘trisatya’ cannot lead to any certainty (regarding validity); in fact, if this certainty does not follow from the very first (statement), it cannot follow from others.—(3027)
