Sand is like the afflictions; mud is like fundamental ignorance. Prior to the bhūmis is called 'subduing'; upon the bhūmis is called 'severing'; the ultimate is called 'pure and refined'; and manifestation is the arising of functioning. This is the same as the previous 'neither perishing nor arising tallying with the tathāgatagarbha', while the tathāgatagarbha is solely the wonderful awareness and illumination that completely illuminates the dharmadhātu, up to turning away from dust and tallying with awareness, and thus bringing forth the wonderful awareness and illuminated nature of tathatā. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.427](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4.427) - [Next: 4.429](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4.429) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799~en-mt.4.428) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4.428](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4.428) · Pramāṇa
