The first section clarifies the one vehicle, which is different from the former three vehicles; thus, the three are the illness and the one is the medicine, using the one to repudiate the three. The latter chapter clarifies present permanence, which is different from former impermanence; permanence is the medicine and impermanence is the illness, using permanence to repudiate impermanence; thus, there is mutual remedying of illness by medicine, present and former. If the latter section still clarified impermanence, there would only be the former remedy and no latter remedy; then the former illness could be dispelled, but the latter affliction could not be eliminated. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.2.20) - [Next: 2.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.2.22) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720~en-mt.2.21) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.2.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.2.21) · Pramāṇa
