One must search out and contemplate their original source; only then can they be distinguished. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.177](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.177) - [Next: 6.179](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.179) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.6.178) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [淨名經集解關中疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.100) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.178](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.178) · Pramāṇa
