Halakhah for Sanhedrin 151:11
ולמ"ד דון מינה ואוקי באתרה מה הוא כלתו אסורה אף היא כלתה אסורה ואוקי באתרה התם הוא דבסקילה אבל הכא בשרפה כדאשכחן באמה
And on the view that burning is considered more severe, the analogy cannot be made because of this last difficulty.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Though the former two do not arise. ');"><sup>11</sup></span>
Sefer HaChinukh
To not reveal the nakedness of the daughter: To not reveal the nakedness of the daughter, and this is not elucidated in the language of the Torah, that the verse would state, "The nakedness of your daughter you shall not reveal." And because of [the following] did a verse not come about it explicitly, since there is no need for it: As since the Torah forbade the daughter of the son and the daughter of the daughter which are more distant than she, there is no reason to say that she is forbidden - as it is an a fortiori argument (kal vachomer). And they, may their memory be blessed, also learned it from a inferential comparison (gezearah shavah). As if we had only extracted it with an fortiori argument, no one would have ever been judged for it - as it is established for us (Sanhedrin 76a) [that] 'we do not punish from an inference.'
