Furthermore, "great" is the dharma-kāya, "extinction" is liberation, and "crossing over" is prajñā. Merely setting forth "extinction and crossing over," it contains the three manifestly; how could it be untranslatable? If one clings to a single word, then they condemn each other and fail to fathom the Buddha's intent, as has already been stated above. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.19) - [Next: 8.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.21) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.8.20) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.20) · Pramāṇa
