The Vision of Śiva4.83

4.83
तेन ज्ञेयमेकमेव वस्तु भिन्ने ग्रहः कुतः । तथानुमानं न भवेद्धूमाग्न्योरन्वये क्वचित् ॥८३॥
tena jñeyamekameva vastu bhinne grahaḥ kutaḥ | tathānumānaṃ na bhaveddhūmāgnyoranvaye kvacit
— therefore ; — is to be known ; — one alone ; — the (knowable) reality ; — with respect to a separate (object) ; — apprehension ; — whence? ; — likewise ; — inference ; — could not be ; — of smoke and fire ; — in (their) concomitance ; — anywhere

Therefore the knowable reality is to be understood as one alone; whence (could there be) apprehension of a (truly) separate (object)? Likewise inference could nowhere arise (if there were) no (real grounding for) the concomitance of smoke and fire.
