Since physical form is not directly contrasted here, but the text properly sets forth the name to discuss virtue, if one wishes to take refuge and venerate him, one should reverently uphold his name; thus, upholding the name is brought forth as the exhortation. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2.27) - [Next: 2.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2.29) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728~en-mt.2.28) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2.28) · Pramāṇa
