The word "parikalpa" in the upper line reveals the substance of the conceptualizing mind and the like, showing the substance of that phenomenon through the ākāra of pervasive conceptualization; the word "parikalpa" in the second line is precisely the ākāra of the mind that is the pervasive conceptualizer. The former uses the ākāra to present that substance of phenomena; the latter uses the ākāra to clarify the fault of giving rise to conceptualization. Question: Since the own-nature of these conceptualized phenomena does not exist, why are they called "things" and called "various"? Answer: In accord with the conceptualizing mind, they are spoken of as things; because the mind has many categories, they are spoken of as various; their substances are not various. Furthermore, the non-existent phenomena that are conceptualized may also be called things, because both existent and non-existent phenomena are called things. As for saying "various," in accord with the falsely discriminating mind that is the pervasive conceptualizer conceiving these non-existent things, before the mind there are also various marks. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.9.16) - [Next: 9.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.9.18) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830~en-mt.9.17) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.9.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.9.17) · Pramāṇa
