The earlier passage again has two parts. The first part, down to "becomes a single boundary," proves the aforementioned \[point that\] it is not connected with the earth. This is because even if the native soil is dug away, \[the boundary\] is still not lost; and if a house is erected above and external materials are additionally applied, it still belongs to the same boundary. As for the "water level": beneath the circle of earth is the circle of gold; beneath gold is the circle of water; beneath water is the circle of wind; and outside wind is open space. The Dharma reaches its limit at the circle of gold, and so it speaks of the "water level," because a boundary relies upon solid ground; the characteristic of water is floating and turbulent, which is not what was originally intended. As for the "three-storied house," this merely presents one instance; multiple stories are also like this. That text literally speaks of "erecting a three-storied pavilion," merely changing its wording. From "If..." downward, it proves the aforementioned "not failing to reach"; the beginning is the text of the treatise. From "Because..." downward is the Manual master's interpretation of its meaning. The first phrase shows the essence of the boundary: it marks off characteristics and delimits boundaries, being that which faces the eye; and since they do not interpenetrate, it is an obstruction; as a boundary possesses both meanings, it is called a "material dharma." (Some read the word "dharma" below, which conversely results in breaking the sentence.) From "Therefore..." downward, it next cites the later passage. It also clarifies that even when the location is destroyed, the dharma persists, proving that there is indeed a dharma. Below the phrase "swept by water," the phrase "barely knowing its location" is omitted; the original treatise has it fully, which shows that without knowing it, one cannot perform the ritual action. From "In accordance with..." downward, it concludes by proving the previous meaning. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.570](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.1.570) - [Next: 1.572](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.1.572) - [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.1.571) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.1.571](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.1.571) · Pramāṇa
