Prajñā is called wisdom. Prajñā of the real mark is neither quiescent nor luminous, which is all-seed wisdom. Prajñā of contemplative illumination is illumination without deliberate illumination, which is all-knowledge. Prajñā of skillful means is quiescence without deliberate quiescence, which is the knowledge of the aspects of the path. One should know that the three kinds of prajñā are each permanence, bliss, self, and purity, neither dual nor distinct from the three virtues. Since the Suvarṇaprabhāsa serves as a metaphor for the three virtues, the Suvarṇaprabhāsa also serves as a metaphor for the three kinds of prajñā. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1783.1.16) - [Next: 1.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1783.1.18) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1783.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1783~en-mt.1.17) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1783.1.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1783.1.17) · Pramāṇa
