The sūtra takes the substance capable of serving as a parable to shatter their doubts; hence it designates medicinal herbs. The error of the deluded lies in regarding the vehicles as having no distinction; the refutation lies in refuting it through the differences in capacity. Therefore, it employs the moistened medicinal herbs as an analogy for the capacities and natures that are nourished; for this reason, it does not designate rain as the parable, nor does it jointly cite the dual natures of rain and herbs for the chapter. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.105](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.7.105) - [Next: 7.107](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.7.107) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.7.106) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.7.106](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.7.106) · Pramāṇa
