151.3
anupalambhātmakatvād anupalabdher ahetuḥ ||
[Answer:] This is not a reason, because non-apprehension has the nature of non-apprehending.
151.4
yad upalabhyate tad asti, yan nopalabhyate tan nāsti, ity anupalambhātmakam asad iti vyavasthitam/ upalabdhyabhāvaś cānupalabdhir iti seyam abhāvatvān nopalabhyate/ sac ca khalv āvaraṇaṃ tasyopalabdhyā bhavitavyaṃ na copalabhyate tasmān nāstīti/
What is apprehended exists; what is not apprehended does not exist: thus what has the nature of non-apprehending is determined to be non-existent. And non-apprehension is the absence of apprehension; thus, being an absence, it is not apprehended. An obstruction, on the other hand, being an existent thing, would necessarily be apprehended, and it is not apprehended; therefore, it does not exist.
151.5
tatra yad uktaṃ nāvaraṇānupapattir anupalambhād ity ayuktam iti//21//
In this regard, what was said—that obstruction is not unestablished due to non-apprehension—is improper. ||21
