294.3
anityatvagrahād buddher buddhyantarād vināśaḥ śabdavat ||
Destruction [of cognition] is by another cognition, like sound, because cognition is grasped as impermanent.
294.4
anityā buddhir iti sarvaśarīriṇāṃ pratyātmavedanīyam etat/ gṛhyate ca buddhisantānaḥ tatra buddher buddhyantaraṃ virodhī guṇa ity anumīyate yathā śabdasantāne śabdaḥ śabdāntaravirodhīti//24//
That cognition is impermanent is experienced directly by each individual embodied being. And a continuum of cognitions is perceived; in that regard, it is inferred that another cognition is the opposing quality to a cognition, just as within a continuum of sounds, one sound is opposed to another sound. ||24
