यदि ते अदर्शनलक्षणं तमः प्रविशन्ति, को दोष इत्यु-

In plain words

If they simply enter a darkness that is only the absence of sight, what is wrong with that? — so the objection goes; but the source line itself is cut short right here, mid-word.

Close to the Sanskrit

If they enter darkness characterized by non-perception, what fault [is there in that]? — thus [the objection continues, but the source text breaks off here].
