साऽप्रमाणं प्रमाणं वेत्येषामेवं विकल्प्यते ।
यथार्थनिश्चयायाङ्गमप्रमाणं कथं भवेत् ॥ ३०५२ ॥

sā’pramāṇaṃ pramāṇaṃ vetyeṣāmevaṃ vikalpyate |
yathārthaniścayāyāṅgamapramāṇaṃ kathaṃ bhavet || 3052 ||

In regard to all these, there would be the two possibilities—is the cognition of these valid or invalid? how then what is itself invalid be a factor in the ascertainment of validity?—(3052)

Kamalaśīla

The Cognition of the said three factors, which is regarded as a factor in Validity,—is it valid or invalid?—These are the two alternatives possible.—If it is invalid, then it cannot form part of the certainty regarding validity,——as it is itself invalid; if the witness (evidence) has been regarded as untrustworthy, he cannot help in the decision regarding the matter under dispute.—(3052)
