That is, the initial limit is not defilement increasing and purity decreasing; the final limit is not purity increasing and defilement decreasing; and the middle limit is also not half increasing and half decreasing, because one knows that the three limits are all empty and devoid of self-nature. However, following the \*Yogācārabhūmi\*, the former three phrases are explained in terms of the three periods of time, whereas here the three limits are explained in terms of stages; therefore the commentary explains them in terms of defilement and purity. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 41.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.41.18) - [Next: 41.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.41.20) - [Up: 41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.41) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735~en-mt.41.19) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.41.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.41.19) · Pramāṇa
