43. "If (by the momentary, solitary Buddhists) it is said that 'all religions are inexpressible' - completely beyond the reach of words, then what about their Dharma-deshana (religious discourse) - their words in the form of advocating their own side and criticizing the other side? - It cannot be formed in any way, and one will have to take refuge in silence alone; because the statement 'all religions are inexpressible' contains the fault of self-contradiction in the same way as if someone were to declare from their own mouth to others, 'I am forever silent'; because at that time they are speaking, therefore their being forever silent is itself obstructed by that very statement. If all religions are completely inexpressible, then there can be no discussion or conversation about them, it does not even become possible to call them inexpressible, calling them inexpressible also makes them expressible."
"If it is said that the aforementioned statement is in the form of *sanvṛti* - taken as a remedy for the purpose of promoting conduct, then how can the truth be established by this *sanvṛti* statement? It cannot; because *sanvṛti* is considered false even by the Buddhists themselves, being contrary to *paramārtha* - against reality. When all religions are completely inexpressible, then they cannot be made expressible even by the statement 'they are inexpressible', and neither can others be made to understand them and their inexpressibility."

"Here, the momentary, solitary Buddhists are asked: On what basis is your statement of complete inexpressibility based? Is it due to *ashakti* - the inability to speak?
