239.2
upapannarūpā ceyam ---
And this is quite reasonable—
239.3
bāhyaprakāśānugrahād viṣayopalabdher anabhivyaktito 'nupalabdhiḥ ||
[Sūtra 42:] Non-apprehension is due to non-manifestation, because an object is apprehended through the assistance of external light.
239.4
bāhyena prakāśenānugṛhītaṃ cakṣuḥ viṣayagrāhakaṃ tadabhāve 'nupalabdhiḥ/ sati ca prakāśānugrahe śītasparśopalabdhau ca satyāṃ tadāśrayasya dravyasya cakṣuṣā 'grahaṇaṃ rūpasyānudbhūtatvāt,
The eye grasps an object when assisted by external light; in the absence of that, there is non-apprehension. And even when there is assistance from light, and when cold touch is apprehended, the substance that is the substrate of that is not grasped by the eye, because [its] color is unmanifest.
239.5
seyaṃ rūpānabhivyaktito rūpāśrayasya dravyasyānupalabdhir dṛṣṭā/ tatra yad uktaṃ ``tadanupalabdher ahetur'' iti etad ayuktam//42//
This non-apprehension of the substance that is the substrate of color due to the non-manifestation of color is observed. In that regard, what was said—that 'non-apprehension of it is a pseudo-reason'—is incorrect.
