This clings to unity and doubts the three. Earlier, seven dharmas were proclaimed to be mutually identical, but now only four are adduced; this question is incomplete. Fully stated, it should ask: Since the refuges are distinct, how can they be identical to that nirvāṇa and so forth? Following the answer, this ought to be present; it merely raises one side, and the other side can be known. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.3.11) - [Next: 3.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.3.13) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764~en-mt.3.12) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [大般涅槃經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.mahaparinirvana-mahayana*zh-t375.5.152) — Classical Chinese - [大般涅槃經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.mahaparinirvana-mahayana*zh-dharmaksema.5.38) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.3.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.3.12) · Pramāṇa
