Why does the sūtra only say "I heard"?' Hence this explanation: Because the ear is a distinct part of the six sense-faculties, while 'I' is the total of the whole body. Now, setting aside the distinct ear and following the total 'I,' it says 'I heard.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.202](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2.202) - [Next: 2.204](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2.204) - [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.2.203) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2.203](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2.203) · Pramāṇa
