| English | All of this is certainly true, but we still ask, upon being known by whom it is stated that the lamp illuminates? You might say, “Such is said once this [illumination] is known by a consciousness.” However, upon being known by what do you state that cognition is illuminating? You will affirm, “This is [known] by self-awareness.” [However, in this case, your reason, which is self-awareness,] which [should] prove [the probandum], is equivalent to the probandum, so prove self-awareness itself!1500There is no commentary for verse 22. The corresponding passage of Künzang Pelden’s commentary says: Is that which knows that consciousness is illuminated by itself this consciousness itself, or is it a consciousness other than this one? The first case is not justified: This does not apply here, since it is the given object of analysis. If it needed to be known through a consciousness other than this [illuminating] consciousness itself, then there would be an infinite regress of that which knows it, and it could not possibly be known. If these [two consciousnesses] were not simultaneous, then objects of the past that have ceased or future ones that have not yet arisen could not be known. Since there is no mutual dependence in something simultaneous in the present, it could not possibly be known then either. Therefore, once otherdependent consciousness is not seen either by itself or by something other than itself, and not seen by anything else either, an analysis of [its] distinctive features, such as “illuminating” and “not illuminating,” is meaningless. A presentation of distinctive attributes with respect to a basis of attribution that was never seen is like saying, “The looks and the physical condition of a barren woman’s daughter are such and such.” Even if described, they are meaningless.
