The gross nature of the mind is called investigation; the subtle nature of the mind is called scrutiny. There is another explanation: the two factors of investigation and scrutiny are the formations of speech. Thus the sūtra states: 'There must be investigation and scrutiny before there can be speech; without investigation and scrutiny there are no such formations of speech.' The gross is called investigation, and the subtle is called scrutiny. 'Formations of speech' means the causes of speech. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.4.57) - [Next: 4.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.4.59) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823~en-mt.4.58) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.4.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.4.58) · Pramāṇa
