Next is the explanation identifying the person capable of hearing. The \*Buddhabhūmi-śāstra\* states: 'Through the Tathāgata's compassion and the power of his fundamental vows as a predominant condition, words and meanings arise corresponding to each other upon the consciousness of the listener; therefore it is said, "have I heard".' Moreover, 'I' refers to the designated individual, which is the general designation for the single body; 'heard' refers to the ear, which is a specific designation among the six sense faculties. Now, leaving aside the specific and adopting the general, it is therefore said, 'have I heard'. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1757.1.78) - [Next: 1.80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1757.1.80) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1757.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1757~en-mt.1.79) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1757.1.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1757.1.79) · Pramāṇa
