Now, having afflictions, fetters, and delusions does not obstruct wisdom and nirvāṇa; wisdom and nirvāṇa do not hinder afflictions, fetters, and delusions—only this is called inconceivable. If entering nirvāṇa with no delusion and having wisdom were called inconceivable, we would now raise a counter-objection: should not 'having no smallness of a mustard seed, but having the largeness of Mount Sumeru' also be treated as inconceivable?! > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.5.78) - [Next: 5.80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.5.80) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777~en-mt.5.79) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.5.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.5.79) · Pramāṇa
