Alternatively, it is also because it serves as a condition for differentiated capacities; that is, those from the three ranks of worthies and above up to the Buddhas are able to act as this condition. Regarding 'equal conditions', it acts as a condition for the perfuming of the karmic consciousness of the bodhisattvas; that is to say, it is stated thus because it only manifests the Buddha-body as equal and non-dual. Alternatively, it is also because it serves as a condition for capacities with an equal mind; that is, those from the initial ground and above up to the Buddhas must rely on the power of cognition of identical substance to be able to act as this condition. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.139](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3.139) - [Next: 3.141](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3.141) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846~en-mt.3.140) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3.140](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3.140) · Pramāṇa
