However, above there were four parables; now the third is omitted from the reiteration. Now, within the single stanza, the first line reiterates the first parable above. The two lines below "in order to cure his deranged sons" reiterate the second parable above. The single line "none can say it is false" reiterates the fourth parable above, that it is not false. From "I too am the father of the world" onward, four stanzas reiterate the application of the parable, also omitting the application of the third. The first half-stanza reiterates the application of the first parable above. The two and a half stanzas below "for the sake of common mortals, who are inverted" reiterate the application of the second. The single stanza below "I constantly have this thought" reiterates the application of the fourth, that it is not false. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.8.42) - [Next: 8.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.8.44) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715~en-mt.8.43) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.8.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.8.43) · Pramāṇa
