From "If one is a noble person... down to... take \[food\]," Jingxi says: "Previously, the Dharma was examined through the person; now, the person is measured through the Dharma. When person and Dharma are mutually absent, they are mutually \[negated\]; therefore, we know that since previously there was no Dharma, it was already known there was no person; thus, to re-examine him, it was still necessary to rely on the Dharma." Regarding "Fearing that thoughts arise... down to... taking food from the field of respect," previously, in Kāśyapa's section, he was challenged through the lesser four truths to make him incur loss regarding the Mahāyāna; now, in this section, he is challenged through the greater four truths to make him incur error regarding attachment to the lesser; thus, he is challenged through the four truths generally and specifically. Therefore, we know that Subhūti took the lesser four truths as what he realized, while Jingming used the greater four truths to utter reproaches. The Great and Lesser are eternally contrary; how could he respond? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.6.15) - [Next: 6.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.6.17) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779~en-mt.6.16) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.6.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.6.16) · Pramāṇa
