If, as you say, there must be an object of brightening to be called awakening-brightness, and if there is no object of brightening it can only be named awakening, the next two phrases refute it, saying: The Tathāgata constantly speaks of the serene bright nature of awakening; how could there be an absence of brightness? If there were truly an absence of brightness, it would not be fitting to call it the serene bright nature of awakening. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4.45) - [Next: 4.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4.47) - [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.4.46) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4.46) · Pramāṇa
