Translation/Explanation

Hindi

इस सूत्र में कहा गया है कि उपमान प्रमाण की सिद्धि प्रसिद्ध समानता के आधार पर होती है, और इसमें वे दोष लागू नहीं होते जो पहले बताए गए थे। अर्थात्, उपमान के माध्यम से ज्ञान प्राप्त करने में पूर्वोक्त आपत्तियाँ नहीं आतीं, क्योंकि इसकी प्रक्रिया भिन्न है।

English

This sūtra states that the establishment of analogy (upamāna) is based on well-known similarity, and the previously mentioned defects do not apply here. In other words, the objections raised earlier are not relevant to the process of knowledge through analogy, as its method is distinct.
