This also perishes in a kṣaṇa: the earlier thought-moment having already perished, the subsequent thought-moment would have arisen; cutting off the present so that it does not continue is called killing living beings and also called terminating life; in contrast to not having been terminated earlier, it is called descending into completion. Therefore, the Commentary next states: "This precisely distinguishes the former four as preparatory upāyas." The remaining two sections can be understood. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 59.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.59.67) - [Next: 59.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.59.69) - [Up: 59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.59) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736~en-mt.59.68) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.59.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.59.68) · Pramāṇa
