The sūtra's intent is: a wheel-turning king also has these marks; should he be a Tathāgata? "The verse says..." and so forth means: if one looks from the root toward the branches, it is determinate; but if one looks from the branches toward the root, it is indeterminate. Take, for example, a wheel-turning king and the Buddha: although their physical marks are the same, that upon which their marks rely differs in each: the Buddha's marks are manifested by the dharmakāya, whereas the king's marks arise relying on karmic causes; ordinary and noble differ as clouds and mud, so how could there be a standard? Moreover, relying on the dharmakāya there are own-enjoyment and other-enjoyment \[bodies\], and further there are great and small transformations adapting to types, each being different. Just as with sprout and root, matters are also indeterminate: a newly planted tree has a sprout but no roots, while a grafted tree has different sprouts and roots. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.166](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.6.166) - [Next: 6.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.6.168) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702~en-mt.6.167) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.6.167](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.6.167) · Pramāṇa
