Now I challenge him: the past coarse was fully equipped with the four onenesses, so the past coarseness was not coarse; the present subtle completely lacked the four onenesses, so the present subtlety was not subtle. Against his single phrase, I set forth four lines of challenge, four times six making twenty-four. Using his own contradictions to strike against each other, neither exceeding nor falling short, there should be just this many. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.230](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.1.230) - [Next: 1.232](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.1.232) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.1.231) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.1.231](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.1.231) · Pramāṇa
