Below, it specifically reveals this. In the specific, there are nine clauses: the first eight are being able to know, and the last one is being able to expound. The first eight are like the seven wholesome dharmas above: 'by knowing dharmas' is the knowing of dharmas above; 'by knowing meaning' is the knowing of meaning above; 'by knowing time' is the knowing of time above; 'by knowing contentment' is the knowing of contentment above; 'by knowing oneself' is the knowing of self above; 'knowing the assembly' is the aforementioned knowing the assembly, knowing natures, knowing capacities, and knowing superior and inferior. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.158](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.6.158) - [Next: 6.160](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.6.160) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764~en-mt.6.159) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.6.159](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.6.159) · Pramāṇa
