These all cannot be definitively asserted; hence they are called "ineffable," not that they are completely unexpressed. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.7.47) - [Next: 7.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.7.49) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764~en-mt.7.48) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.7.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.7.48) · Pramāṇa
