Because it lacks the principle/meaning that is the object of non-conceptual wisdom, it is called "ultimate naturelessness" (paramārtha-niḥsvabhāvatā). Therefore the Prakaraṇāryavācā (fascicle 16) states: "Due to lacking an ultimate nature." The meaning here is: the dependent being called ultimate naturelessness has two meanings. First, because the entity of the dependent is not of an ultimate nature, it is called ultimate naturelessness; "lacking" means not being. Second, because the dependent lacks a nature of spontaneous arising, it is also called naturelessness. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832.7.17) - [Next: 7.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832.7.19) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832~en-mt.7.18) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832.7.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832.7.18) · Pramāṇa
