Why make the false imputation of a useless Īśvara? Therefore, the treatise next says: "If it is said that this desire has yet another cause..." and so forth. Regarding "In this way, briefly, through the power of three kinds of predominant attention..." and so forth: this concludes the attention to the above three valid cognitions (pramāṇa). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.139](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.8.139) - [Next: 8.141](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.8.141) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828~en-mt.8.140) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.8.140](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.8.140) · Pramāṇa
