Therefore, apart from seeing, there is no separate self that grasps seeing and so forth. Another interpretation says: not only can a sickle cut things, there are other things that can cut things; apart from seeing and so forth, there is no separate act of seeing, and thus there is no self. This interpretation is somewhat loose and the analogy does not fit well, because the challenge concerns seeing and so forth being the instruments grasped by the self. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.3.52) - [Next: 3.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.3.54) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829~en-mt.3.53) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.3.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.3.53) · Pramāṇa
