This means: Mahāmati, since you asked about nāmalakṣaṇa, why did you not ask about the mountains and the great ocean, the sun, the moon, the stars, the sentient beings and buddha-lands, as well as the yojanas, pecks, bushels, catties, taels, the four great elements, and the sense faculties, composed of such quantities of dust particles? Since you say, "My name is Mahāmati (Great Wisdom)" and understand the Mahāyāna, why did you not ask? Below, these are precisely the names for the accumulated quantities of subtle dust particles, meaning that the questions were not comprehensive. Furthermore, it is to dispel the calculations of sentient beings' passions: since all things are formed from the accumulation of subtle particles, how could they have an essential nature? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.2.63) - [Next: 2.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.2.65) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791~en-mt.2.64) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.2.64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.2.64) · Pramāṇa
