Having no independent substance of their own, they rely solely on the mind-essence; hence it says "relying on the mind." The sentient beings that rely upon it are merely manas and manovijñāna; hence it says "manas and manovijñāna evolve." This indicates the two chapter headings. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.108](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845.1.108) - [Next: 1.110](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845.1.110) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845~en-mt.1.109) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845.1.109](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845.1.109) · Pramāṇa
