Now \[we say\] this is not so: cause and fruit are both subtle. In the cause, the virtue of the \[original\] nature is deep and hard to see, which is called "slight"; being neither vertical nor horizontal, it is called "marvelous"; in the fruit, the virtue of cultivation is also like this. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1785.1.22) - [Next: 1.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1785.1.24) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1785.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1785~en-mt.1.23) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1785.1.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1785.1.23) · Pramāṇa
