1962 Verse 3136

Original

विशेषेण तु सर्वार्थसाक्षात्प्रत्यक्षदर्शिनम् ।
यः कल्पयति तस्यासौ मुधा मिथ्या च कल्पना ॥ ३१३६ ॥

viśeṣeṇa tu sarvārthasākṣātpratyakṣadarśinam |
yaḥ kalpayati tasyāsau mudhā mithyā ca kalpanā || 3136 ||

“If one assumes the existence of a person capable of directly perceiving all things in detail,—such assumption is absolutely futile and false.”—(3136)

Kamalaśīla

Thus it has been explained that the attempt to prove the Omniscient Person on the basis of the knowledge of the epitomised form of things, is superfluous. The Mīmāṃsaka now proceeds to point out objections against the idea of the ‘Omniscient Person’, on the basis of his knowing the whole world in detail:—[see verse 3136 above]

‘Mudhā’—Futile, useless; because it is not conducive to the fulfilment of any purpose of man.

‘False’—not true, as envisaging an impossibility.—(3136)
