candrāvaty eva iti atra — on the claim 'Candrāvatī alone'; pramāṇaṁ yuktiḥ ca — the proof and the reasoning; śrī-vaiṣṇava-toṣaṇyāṁ draṣṭavyā — are to be seen in the Śrī-Vaiṣṇava-toṣaṇī.
'चन्द्रावती ही' — इस विषय में प्रमाण और युक्ति श्रीवैष्णवतोषणी में देख लेनी चाहिए।
For the point 'Candrāvatī alone,' Viśvanātha does not argue it here. He sends the reader to the Śrī-Vaiṣṇava-toṣaṇī, where both the scriptural proof and the reasoning are laid out.
'चन्द्रावती ही' — इस बात का प्रमाण और युक्ति श्रीवैष्णवतोषणी में देख लेनी चाहिए।
Śrī-Vaiṣṇava-toṣaṇī: Sanātana Gosvāmī's commentary on the Tenth Canto of the Bhāgavata Purāṇa. Viśvanātha refers the argument out rather than repeating it.

[śataśaḥ, lakṣa-saṅkhyāḥ] sahasra-koṭy-ādīnām upalakṣaṇam — 'by the hundreds' and 'a lakh' are an indicative marker for thousands, ten-millions, and beyond.
(वे दोनों संख्याएँ) सहस्र, कोटि इत्यादि का उपलक्षण हैं।
These numbers are not a ceiling. 'Hundreds' and 'a lakh' are an upalakṣaṇa — a pointer — standing in for thousands, crores, and higher still. The true count is far larger.
'सैकड़ों' और 'लाख' — ये दोनों केवल उपलक्षण हैं। ये हजार, करोड़ आदि बड़ी संख्याओं की ओर भी संकेत करते हैं।
upalakṣaṇa (indicative marker) vs. viśeṣaṇa (defining quality): 'the house with the crow on it' — the crow only helps you spot the house, it is not part of what the house is (upalakṣaṇa); 'the blue lotus' — blue is part of what the flower is (viśeṣaṇa). Here 'hundreds' and 'a lakh' are the crow: they point you toward the real, far greater number, not a fixed total.
