द्वयोरेवेति चेत्तन्न द्वयोरेवाप्यदर्शनात् । अदृष्टस्य सतो दृष्टिः स्याद्राहोश्चन्द्रसूर्ययोः ॥
dvayoreveti cettanna dvayorevāpyadarśanāt | adṛṣṭasya sato dṛṣṭiḥ syādrāhoścandrasūryayoḥ ||
If [it is said that it belongs] to both, no: for it is not seen even when both are there [but not facing each other]. [Opponent:] Something existent but unseen can become seen, as Rahu [is seen] on the moon and sun.
यदि [कहा जाए कि वह] दोनों का है, तो नहीं; क्योंकि दोनों के होने पर भी [आमने-सामने न हों तो] वह नहीं दिखता। [विरोधी:] जो विद्यमान है पर अदृश्य है, वह भी दिख सकता है, जैसे चन्द्र और सूर्य पर राहु।
