Regarding 'vajra', it intrinsically has two meanings: First, the wisdom capable of severing is named vajra, because it can sever all afflictions; the present sūtra speaks relying on this. Second, the delusions to be severed are named vajra, because their nature is strong and hard to sever, resembling a diamond; therefore the newly translated \*Prajñā\[pāramitā\]\* is named 'Vajracchedikā' (Capable of Severing the Diamond). Alternatively, vajra may also pertain to that which is capable of severing. For this reason, buddhas and bodhisattvas both employ this patience. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.2.79) - [Next: 2.81](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.2.81) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708~en-mt.2.80) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.2.80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.2.80) · Pramāṇa
