The day is also like this. Here it accords with worldly custom. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.21) - [Next: 8.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.23) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829~en-mt.8.22) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [瑜伽論記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.6.267) — Classical Chinese - [瑜伽師地論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.yogacara.yogacarabhumi*zh-xuanzang.24.5) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.22) · Pramāṇa
