Sages responding to beings have both meanings: if appearing abruptly for a time, it is a transformation; if matching \[the being\] from beginning to end, it is called a response. If one examines this text, it clarifies the meaning of a response. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2.46) - [Next: 2.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2.48) - [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.2.47) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2.47) · Pramāṇa
