Verse 425

Tap any word for its meaning.

US-P18.014ab ।US-P18.014cd ॥

In plain words

The knowing that comes from scripture and the knowing that comes from inference reach only the general case. Perception, born of the senses, takes hold of the particular — this thing, here. So it must necessarily override them.

Close to the Sanskrit

Since the two cognitions whose origin is scripture and inference have the general for their object, the sense-born cognition, whose object is the particular, would necessarily set them aside.
