• 259 :भविष्यत इत्यनैकान्तिको हेतुः। अथ भवत्संशयादिविज्ञानमपि नास्ति, तर्हि का नाम शून्यता ? कस्य वाऽसौ ? केन वोपलब्धा ? भवत एवेह तत्र किल संशयः, स चेद् नास्ति, तर्हि कस्यान्यस्य ग्राम-नगरादिसच्चे विप्रतिपत्तिः ? इति भावः ॥ १९९ ॥ (१७४७)॥
D. C.--Just as, your apprehension of doubt etc. exists, even though it is not perceptible to others, in the same way, there are some objects which exist, in spite of their imperceptibility.

[प्रत्यक्षेषु न युक्तस्तव भूमि-जला-ऽनलेषु संदेहः । __ अनिला-ऽऽकाशयोर्भवेत् सोऽपि न युक्तोऽनुमानात् ॥२०० ॥ (१७४८) Pratyaksesu na yuktasta va bhūmi-jala-'naleșu samadehaḥ, Anila-"kāśayor-bhavet so’pi na yukto’numānāt 11 200 11 (1748)]
