Note on the transliteration:

The transliteration system of the BP/TLB is based on the Unicode/UTF-8 system. However, there may be difficulties with some of the letters – particularly on PC/Windows-based systems, but not so much on the Mac. We have chosen the most accepted older and traditional systems of transliteration against, e.g, Wylie for Tibetan, since with Unicode it is possible, in Sanskrit and Tibetan, etc., to represent one sound with one letter in almost all the cases (excepting Sanskrit and Tibetan aspirated letters, and Tibetan tsa, tsha, dza). We thus do not use the Wylie system which widely employs two letters for one sound (ng, ny, sh, zh etc.).

Important:

We ask you in particular to note the use of the ’ apostrophe and not the ' representing the avagrāha in Sanskrit, and most important the ’a-chuṅ in Tibetan. On the Mac the ’ is Alt-M.

sidhyanti hi pramāṇair yadi prameyāṇitāni tair eva |
sādhyāni ca prameyais tāni kathaṃ sādhayiṣyanti ||47||

量能成所量所量能成量
若義如是者云何能相成

| gal te tshad mas gźal bya ’grub || gźal bya de dag rnams kyis kyaṅ |
| de dag bsgrub par bya yin na || de dag ji ltar bsgrub par ’gyur |

Because, if the prameyas owe their establishment to the pramāṇas, and if those pramāṇas are to be established by those very prameyas, how will the pramāṇas establish [the prameyas]?

yadi hi pramāṇaiḥ prameyāṇi sidhyanti tāni ca pramāṇānitair eva prameyaiḥ sādhayitavyāni nanv asiddheṣu prameyeṣu kāraṇasyāsiddhatvād asiddhāni kathaṃ sādhayiṣyanti prameyāṇi |

此偈明何義若量能成所量之物彼所量物能成量者量自未成因緣不成云何能成所量之物又復有義偈言

gal te tshad ma rnams kyis ni gźal bar bya ba rnams ’grub par byed la | gźal bar bya ba de dag rnams kyis kyaṅ tshad ma de dag bsgrub par bya ba yin no źe na | ’on gźal bar bya ba ma grub pa rnams kyi rgyu rab tu ma grub pa’i phyir gźal bar bya ba ma grub pa dag ji ltar bsgrub par ’gyur |

Because, if the prameyas owe their establishment to the pramāṇas, and if those pramāṇas are to be established by those very prameyas, [we encounter the following difficulty:] the prameyas not having been established, the pramāṇas are not established, for their cause is not established. How, then, will the pramāṇas establish the prameyas?
