The explanation states: Relying on the defiled dharmas \[as numerous as\] the sands of the Ganges in the marks of the consciousness of arising and ceasing, by contrast with this the differentiation of the pure virtues \[as numerous as\] the sands of the Ganges in tathatā is demonstrated. And because the root of these defilements is cited first, it speaks merely of the karmic consciousness. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.182](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3.182) - [Next: 3.184](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3.184) - [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.3.183) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3.183](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3.183) · Pramāṇa
