4.17
अथानुभवगा बाधा नानुभूतोऽन्यथा भवेत् । अथेन्द्रियस्य बाध्यत्वं तत्कालं यादृगिन्द्रियम् ॥१७॥
athānubhavagā bādhā nānubhūto'nyathā bhavet | athendriyasya bādhyatvaṃ tatkālaṃ yādṛgindriyam
— now (if) ; — pertaining to experience ; — the annulment ; — not ; — what has been experienced ; — otherwise ; — could become ; — or ; — of the sense-organ ; — the being-annulled ; — at that time ; — of what kind ; — the sense-organ

Now if the annulment pertains to (the) experience — (we reply) what has (once) been experienced cannot become otherwise. Or if (you say) it is the sense-organ that is annulled — (then ask) of what kind was the sense-organ at that time?
