11.35

nityaniratiśayasukhābhivyaktir muktir iti bhaṭṭasarvajñādyabhimate 'pi duḥkhanivṛttir abhimataiva/ paraṃ tu nityasukhaṃ na pramāṇapaddhatim adhyāste/ śrutis tatra pramāṇam iti cet — na/ yogyānupalabdhibādhite tadanavakāśāt/ avakāśe vā grāvaplave 'pi tathābhāvaprasaṅgāt/

Again, we have the same recognition of our "abolition of pain" in the doctrine of Bhaṭṭa Sarvajña and his followers, that "Liberation is the manifestation of an eternal happiness incapable of being increased;" but here we have the difficulty that an eternal happiness does not come within the range of definite proof. If you allege Śruti as the proof, we reply that Śruti has no place when the thing itself is precluded by a valid non-perception;[25] or if you allow its authority, then you will have to concede the existence of such things as floating stones.[26]
