"Yù" (喻) means to open up and to enlighten; the Yupian says: "To enlighten, to admonish." Now, near traces of the worldly are adduced to compare and categorize the profound purport of the supramundane, using them to open what has not yet been spoken and to enlighten former delusions; the comparison that enlightens is named the "Parable Chapter" (Hiyu-pin), or comparison is itself an analogy, hence named the "Parable Chapter." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.5) - [Next: 5.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.7) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.5.6) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.6) · Pramāṇa
