This is "emptiness of reality," a tatpuruṣa compound. Because delusion is empty, it can thereby reveal the true principle; hence it is said to "reveal the real." Therefore the Madhyāntavibhāga says: "The existence of the non-existence of grasper and grasped, and the non-existence of the grasper and grasped, is called the mark of emptiness." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.2.56) - [Next: 2.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.2.58) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846~en-mt.2.57) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.2.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.2.57) · Pramāṇa
