2.2.8
atraiva gurumatena pūrvottarapakṣāvāha -
āpnotīti vidhitvasya vādatvasyāpyanirṇayāt | na pramā codanetyetan vādo hyekavākyataḥ ||
On this very point, he states the prima facie and conclusive views according to the view of the Guru: / Because whether "he obtains" is an injunction or a corroborative statement is undetermined, / the verbal direction is not a means of valid cognition; this [view is rejected]: for it is a corroborative statement through unified sentencehood.
2.2.8.p1
ūrjaṃ paśūnāpnoti ityapūrvārthatvādvidhitvaṃ pratibhāsate, liṅṅādyabhāvādarthavādatvam | ataḥ sandigdhatvānna prāmāṇyaṃ codanāyā iti pūrvapakṣaḥ ||
"He obtains vigor, [namely] animals"—because it conveys something not known before, its being an injunction appears; because of the absence of the optative and so forth, its being a corroborative statement [appears]. Therefore, being doubtful, the verbal direction is not a means of valid cognition: this is the prima facie view.
2.2.8.p2
ekavākyatvalābhenārthavādatvaṃ nirṇīyate | ataḥ pramāṇaṃ codanā iti rāddhāntaḥ |
By obtaining unified sentencehood, its being a corroborative statement is determined. Therefore, the verbal direction is a means of valid cognition: this is the established conclusion.
