Desire is that which is sustained; the realm is that which sustains. "Realm" (\*dhātu\*) has the meaning of sustaining; that is, because the five skandhas of the desire realm can sustain desire, it is necessarily called the "realm of desire". The other two are also like this: that is, the four skandhas and the five skandhas are the meanings of the realms of desire and so on. Someone seems to have missed the point. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.8.37) - [Next: 8.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.8.39) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822~en-mt.8.38) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.8.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.8.38) · Pramāṇa
