Why is an aspiration not further established? Answer: First, the stage of one capable of giving rise to aspiration is inferior and cannot initiate preparatory application; second, the stage approached is not yet superior and does not require preparatory application; therefore \[an additional aspiration\] is not established. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1847.1.26) - [Next: 1.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1847.1.28) - [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.1.27) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1847.1.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1847.1.27) · Pramāṇa
