The answer: that which cannot be masticated is called "tasting"; that which can be masticated is called "chewing." Because solid food such as cakes cannot be sipped and sucked, it is called "chewing"; that which can be sipped and sucked is called "tasting." Or it may generally be said that chewing and tasting have no difference, but are established according to worldly convention. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.36) - [Next: 8.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.38) - [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.8.37) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [瑜伽論記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.6.301) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.37) · Pramāṇa
