Vedantasara - Verse 165

Sanskrit

तत्र शोणगुणगमनलक्षणस्य वाक्यार्थस्य विरुद्धत्वात्तदपरित्यागेन तदाश्रयाश्वादिलक्षणया तद्विरोधपरिहारसम्भवादजहल्लक्षणा सम्भवति

Swami Nikhilananda's Translation

The literal meaning of that sentence, namely, the running of red colour, is absurd. This absurdity can be removed without abandoning the meaning of the word “Red” by interpreting it to imply a horse of that colour. Therefore in this case Ajahallakshana is admissible.
