Questioning him directly about food makes it clear that he is also unequal with regard to food. If one is not equal regarding food, how could one be equal regarding concentration? This is having no equality whatsoever. Since there is no equality, how could there be an equal concentration on which to rely? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3.8) - [Next: 3.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3.10) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.3.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3.9) · Pramāṇa
