Explanation: The former was to refute emotional views, whereas what is discussed here is to clarify the principle. Furthermore, the former refuted definitive existence and non-existence with regard to the dharmas of causes and conditions in conventional truth, whereas this \[section\] directly reveals the meaning that the nature of the tathāgatagarbha is neither existent nor non-existent; being different from the former, it is therefore analyzed again. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.4.19) - [Next: 4.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.4.21) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764~en-mt.4.20) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.4.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.4.20) · Pramāṇa
