It refers to craving, which receives rebirth anew, accompanied by greed and delight; like a mother upon whom one depends to be established, ignorance is the father, generating the hamlets of the sense fields. Severing these two roots is called 'slaying parents.'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.16) - [Next: 3.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.18) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789~en-mt.3.17) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [楞伽阿跋多羅寶經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*zh-gunabhadra.3.11) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.17) · Pramāṇa
