First it establishes a simile; from 'clarity and ignorance' downward, it applies it to reveal dharmas; from 'due to these conditions' downward, it concludes and correlates with the preceding simile; 'buddha-nature is also like this' cites the dharma to correspond. Within the simile there are four parts: first, based on the cause and effect of milk, it establishes two characteristics, analogising the duality of the dharma-characteristics of clarity and ignorance; second, from 'although this milk emerges from grass and blood' downward, based on the cause and effect of milk, it explains that the nature is non-dual, analogising that the true nature of clarity and ignorance is non-dual; third, from 'when this milk ceases' downward, based on the cause and effect of cheese, it establishes two characteristics, analogising the duality of the dharma-characteristics of volitional formations, consciousness, and so forth; fourth, from 'therefore one cannot definitely say' downward, based on the cause and effect of cheese, it explains that the nature is non-dual, analogising that the true nature of volitional formations, consciousness, and so forth is non-dual. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.4.46) - [Next: 4.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.4.48) - [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.4.47) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.4.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.4.47) · Pramāṇa
