'Spoken': proclaiming the chapters and uttering the teaching is called 'spoken'. Furthermore, the nirmāṇakāya Buddha does not speak \[independently\]; the dharmakāya confers and speaks it. 'Vajra' and so forth: named from a metaphor, because wisdom is difficult to destroy, it is compared to vajra. 'Prajñā' and so forth: terms from the Western Regions, translated here as real wisdom; prajñā is wisdom. 'Pāra' is the other shore. As for 'mitā', it is translated here as 'arrived': the wisdom of true illumination exhausts the source of the true mark, its nature transcending defilement, its meaning manifesting the ultimate, its traces cut off from the ocean of existence; hence it is called 'arrived at the other shore of wisdom'. As for 'sūtra': the truly pure teaching whose text presents the warp of principle, manifesting the constant norms for training the practicing mind, is called a sūtra. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1704.1.8) - [Next: 1.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1704.1.10) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1704.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1704~en-mt.1.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1704.1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1704.1.9) · Pramāṇa
