Having already spoken of 'fundamentally and entirely extinguished', why then speak of 'no exhaustion'? Extinction arises from non-extinction; when it is fundamentally and always extinguished, there is nothing that is not extinguished; when there is nothing that is not extinguished, then extinction has nothing to extinguish; extinction having nothing to extinguish is precisely the meaning of inexhaustibility. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 10.137](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.10.137) - [Next: 10.139](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.10.139) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.10) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.10.138) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.10.138](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.10.138) · Pramāṇa
