Therefore it is said that because avidyā ceases, objects cease, and also that because avidyā ceases, the non-associated mind ceases. Objects also have two meanings: first, general, being that which is formed; second, specific, being able to give rise to the three coarse minds. Therefore avidyā has general ability and specific ability, and objects have general objecthood and specific ability; thus objects are both active and passive, while avidyā is only active and not passive. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1847.1.16) - [Next: 1.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1847.1.18) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1847.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1847~en-mt.1.17) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1847.1.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1847.1.17) · Pramāṇa
