The general one explains person and dharma together; the specific one distinguishes person and dharma separately. Why so? Because capacities may be sharp or dull, and exposition may be extensive or abridged. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1726.1.4) - [Next: 1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1726.1.6) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1726.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1726~en-mt.1.5) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1726.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1726.1.5) · Pramāṇa
