Answer: For the moment, as it responds in conformity with the human form, it belongs to the response body. There is also another explanation: for example, within the Mahāyāna, when wisdom harmonizes with the middle principle, it constitutes the dharmakāya. Here it is likewise: its embodiment being a human form is identical with true emptiness; hence it belongs to the true body. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1783.1.26) - [Next: 1.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1783.1.28) - [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.1.27) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1783.1.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1783.1.27) · Pramāṇa
