The eighth is nurtured and augmented only by contact and volition, and also by material nutriment as a remote and indirect condition. Why is this eighth consciousness superior? Because it does not change, is constantly of one category, is without interruption, is perpetually continuous, and its holding and maintaining are superior. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.452](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.4.452) - [Next: 4.454](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.4.454) - [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.4.453) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.4.453](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.4.453) · Pramāṇa
