6.40
नच शुद्धस्य बाह्यार्थाभासता चेदविद्यया । वासनारूपया शुद्धे नाशुद्धा वासना भवेत् ॥४०॥
naca śuddhasya bāhyārthābhāsatā cedavidyayā | vāsanārūpayā śuddhe nāśuddhā vāsanā bhavet
— and not ; — of the pure (cognition) ; — the appearing as an external object ; — if (you say it arises) ; — through nescience ; — in the form of a latent impression ; — in the pure ; — not impure ; — a latent impression ; — could exist

And the pure (cognition's) appearing as an external object (cannot be admitted); for if (you say it arises) through nescience in the form of a latent impression — (yet) in the pure (cognition) no impure latent impression could exist.
