Furthermore, the wondrous that carries the coarse is like the shared; the wondrous that does not carry the coarse is like the perfect; that which both carries the coarse and does not carry the coarse is like the distinctive; that which neither carries nor does not carry \[the coarse\] is like the perfect connecting to the distinctive, or the perfect and distinctive connecting to the shared. Furthermore, in terms of the five flavors: the coarse that does not carry the wondrous is like curd; the wondrous that does not carry the coarse is like clarified butter; that which both carries the coarse and does not carry the coarse is like raw and cooked butter; that which neither carries the coarse nor does not carry the coarse is like milk (and so forth). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.166](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.7.166) - [Next: 7.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.7.168) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.7.167) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.7.167](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.7.167) · Pramāṇa
