3.221

俱聞二體破也。鼻若生香,必不聞臭;必若生臭,應不聞香。今既俱聞,鼻須有二;二鼻若立,兩體還成,正為何體?

This is a refutation on the ground that smelling both implies two bodies. If the nose produces fragrance, it certainly does not smell foulness; if it produces foulness, it should not smell fragrance. Now, since both are smelled, there would have to be two noses; if two noses were established, two bodies would also be formed: which one would be the true body?
