Ruo (jñā) is the verbal root; both ban (pra) and na are affixes. If one takes ban (pra) as the affix assisting the ruo (jñā) root, it is named wisdom (hui / prajñā). If one takes na as the affix assisting the ruo (jñā) root, it is named knowledge (zhi / jñāna). Like saying "monastic person," "lay person," and so forth. The difference in names refers to saying "knowledge" and saying "wisdom"; the difference in meanings refers to decisive determination and discernment. Here, because the meanings differ, the names are also made to differ. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.145](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2.145) - [Next: 2.147](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2.147) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702~en-mt.2.146) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2.146](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2.146) · Pramāṇa
