This refutes the vocal organ. It is not appropriate that the vocal organ should be a faculty for speech, because this speech only succeeds by depending upon the habituation and learning of distinct words and so forth; thus we know that relative to speech, the vocal organ has no sovereign function. If the vocal organ could serve as a sovereign function for speech, a newborn possessing a tongue ought immediately to be able to speak. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.3.32) - [Next: 3.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.3.34) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821~en-mt.3.33) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.3.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.3.33) · Pramāṇa
