However, in interpreting this text, various accounts differ. One says: the explanation of "signless" has three phrases. First, "no self or other" dispels the characteristic of existence. "No non-existence" dispels the characteristic of non-existence. As for "because there is no characteristic," it dispels both the characteristic of both-existence-and-non-existence. Another says: it completely dispels the four propositions. "No characteristic of self or other" dispels the characteristic of existence. "No non-existence" dispels the characteristic of non-existence. "No characteristic" dispels the third proposition of both existence and non-existence, as well as the fourth proposition of neither existence nor non-existence. The present explanation is: "no self or other" dispels the characteristic of a self, revealing that the principle of the emptiness of persons is non-existent. "No characteristic of non-existence" reveals that the principle of the emptiness of dharmas is not a non-existent characteristic, hence saying "no non-existence." It is not an existent characteristic, hence saying "no characteristic." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.224](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.224) - [Next: 3.226](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.226) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708~en-mt.3.225) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.225](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.225) · Pramāṇa
