Some say: Atoms are of two kinds: first, the intrinsic nature (prakṛti); second, the reflected image (pratibimba). As for the intrinsic nature, Buddhas and great bodhisattvas, through supernatural power, break down that great earth into atoms; hence it is called intrinsic nature. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.159](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1833.2.159) - [Next: 2.161](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1833.2.161) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1833.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1833~en-mt.2.160) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1833.2.160](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1833.2.160) · Pramāṇa
