Footnote 389:

(return)

The Brahmavidyâbharana explains the last clause—from kshanikatvâk ka—somewhat differently: Api ka paramânûnâm api kshanikatvâbhyupagamân melanam na sambhavati, paramânûnâm melanam paramânukriyâdhînam, tathâ ka svakriyâm prati paramânûnâm kâranatvât kriyâpûrakshane paramânubhir bhâvyam kriyâ srayatayâ kriyâkshaneszpi teshâm avasthânam apekshitam evam melanakshaneszpi, nahi melanâsrayasyâbhâve melanarûpâ pravrittir upapadyate, tathâ ka sthiraparamânusâdhyâ melanarûpâ pravrittih katham teshâm kshanikatve bhavet.—Ânanda Giri also divides and translates differently from the translation in the text.
