However, the preceding \[chapter\] was titled based on the specific, whereas this one is headed based on the general. As for what is called 'specific': 'exposition of Dharma' is a general term, whereas 'expedient means' is a specific name; hence it was designated according to the specific. As for what is now called 'parable': this phrase is general, so it was headed according to the general. Thus, Dharma and parable are both presented, and general and specific are interchangeably used in the titles. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.5.10) - [Next: 5.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.5.12) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721~en-mt.5.11) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.5.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.5.11) · Pramāṇa
