This is the first. An objection says: if you wish to display the consciousness, you should display its entity; why explain the consciousness according to its functions? Hence it now answers: the intrinsic nature of this consciousness is subtle and difficult to display, so its entity is displayed by means of its functions. Here, "intrinsic nature" is an alternative name for entity. From here on, in the explanation, first there is the judgment, and afterwards the presentation and explanation. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.4.12) - [Next: 4.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.4.14) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830~en-mt.4.13) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.4.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.4.13) · Pramāṇa
