Vaisesika Sūtra 8.1.05

सामान्यविशेषेषु सामान्यविशेषाभावात् तत एव ज्ञानम् ॥५॥

sāmānyaviśeṣeṣu sāmānyaviśeṣābhāvāt tata eva jñānam ॥5॥

[सामान्य-विशेषेषु (sāmānya-viśeṣeṣu) - in general and particular attributes; सामान्य-विशेष-अभावात् (sāmānya-viśeṣa-abhāvāt) - due to absence of general and particular; ततः एव (tata eva) - from that alone; ज्ञानम् (jñānam) - knowledge;]

Among the sāmānya, i.e. generality, and viśeṣa, i.e. particularity, due to the absence of their generality (in particularity) and particularity (in generality), from that alone, knowledge arises.
