यद्येवं संवृतिर्नास्ति ततः सत्यद्वयं कुतः। अथ साप्यन्यसंवृत्या स्यात्सत्त्वो निर्वृतः कुतः॥
An Objector Interjects: If this is so, conventional reality does not exist. Where do you find then a twofold truth? If you claim that conventional reality does exist in the sense that the “reality” contradicted by knowledge of absolute truth is still the object of a conventional cognition of another person, then how could any living being ever attain the peace of nirvana?
གལ་ཏེ་དེ་ལྟར་ཀུན་རྫོབ་མེད། །
དེ་ལ་བདེན་གཉིས་ག་ལ་ཡོད། ། དེ་ཡང་ཀུན་རྫོབ་གཞན་གྱིས་ན། །
སེམས་ཅན་མྱ་ངན་ག་ལ་འདའ། །“If this is so,” you say, “there is no relative,
And then the two truths—what becomes of them? Moreover, if the relative derives from beings’ minds,
How can they pass beyond their sorrows?”
“In this case, the seeming does not exist,
So where would this leave the two realities? If it came through another seeming,
Where would there be liberated beings?” [106]
- Si donc il n’y a pas de vérité relative,
Comment y aura-t-il deux vérités ? Si, par ailleurs, la vérité relative est le fait de leurs pensées,
Comment les êtres passeront-ils outre-souffrance ?
“Si eso es así —decís— no hay verdad relativa,
y entonces, ¿cómo puede haber dos verdades? Además, si la relativa procede de la mente de los seres,
¿cómo pueden ir más allá del sufrimiento?”.
In case the illusory thus does not exist;
How could both truths exist on it? If it is illusory due to another,
How can sentient beings go beyond misery?
Thus, for those for whom the relative does not exist,
How could there possibly be two truths? Also, if the relative is another entity.
How could sentient beings reach nirvana?
