(The reason and example are already established, while the thesis was not previously admitted. Using a dharma already admitted to accomplish a thesis not yet admitted, just as a thread strings together flowers, the meaning of the reason universally applies; cognition of the common characteristic arises, confirming and determining the prior thesis, and conceptual understanding is born; therefore it is called inference. Even if one takes what is already admitted to accomplish a thesis not yet admitted, if the cognition that arises is undetermined, it is not subsumed under inference.) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1840.1.32) - [Next: 1.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1840.1.34) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1840.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1840~en-mt.1.33) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1840.1.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1840.1.33) · Pramāṇa
