If one says that the Tathāgata is permanent like space, then he would not depend on the causes cultivated by self-realized knowledge to be accomplished, for space, being free from the extremities of the four tetralemmas, can be used as a metaphor for the Tathāgata. Moreover, if one says that the Tathāgata is permanent because he is unarisen, then he would be like the horns of a hare or horse, which are originally unarisen. If one asserts permanence by equating him with space or the horns of a hare or horse, then there would be no meaning of great expedient means benefiting sentient beings; therefore, he is not the same. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.82](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.8.82) - [Next: 8.84](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.8.84) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791~en-mt.8.83) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.8.83](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.8.83) · Pramāṇa
