If both are the function, there would be no distinction between substance and function, nor any difference between central theme and substance. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.108](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.6.108) - [Next: 6.110](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.6.110) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777~en-mt.6.109) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.6.109](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.6.109) · Pramāṇa
