Subordinating the essence to the function and subsuming the function into the essence, saying "the Mahāyāna that is the treatise," is a karmadhāraya compound. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1836.1.11) - [Next: 1.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1836.1.13) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1836.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1836~en-mt.1.12) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1836.1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1836.1.12) · Pramāṇa
