Answer: In stating the place, the defiled and pure are designated, and the defiled can be definitively known; as for the length of time of the expounding, ordinary beings and noble ones cannot be standardized. Within a single assembly, capacities include the sharp and the dull, long durations and short durations; how could they be standardized? Therefore, the place is definitively stated while the time is spoken generally. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1772.1.29) - [Next: 1.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1772.1.31) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1772.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1772~en-mt.1.30) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [妙法蓮華經玄贊](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.1.61) — Classical Chinese - [說無垢稱經疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.1.27) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1772.1.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1772.1.30) · Pramāṇa
