From "if" onward, it specifically shows the essence of the Saṅgha; it first clarifies that the essence is universal. From "now" onward, it clarifies the distinctness of function. The above briefly showed the essence of the Saṅgha based on the Vinaya; the root Vinaya only clarifies the essence with reference to numbers—namely, one person, many persons, and four persons. If one takes the conventional function, it is based on the \*Satyasiddhi-śāstra\*. Examining the meaning of the present text: although not directly accomplishing \[the karman\], four persons genuinely accomplish it; if this is not the essence, what is it! This shows that the old records which pointed to the previously indicated school as the essence of the Saṅgha were mistaken. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.263](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.1.263) - [Next: 1.265](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.1.265) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805~en-mt.1.264) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.1.264](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.1.264) · Pramāṇa
