Because it is fundamentally not for oneself, there is no confusion regarding retribution." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.255](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.255) - [Next: 5.257](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.257) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.5.256) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.256](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.256) · Pramāṇa
