"Denouncing" means pointing out and refuting. When mental practice is outside the principle, it is collectively termed "deviant views"; it is not merely disbelieving in cause and effect. Ordinary beings, non-Buddhists, and the two vehicles are all called deviant here. Thus Kāśyapa said: "Prior to this, all of us were called people of deviant views." "Inverted" refers to the crown of the head; because the head points downward, it is called inverted. Or, "inverted" means afflicted. "Pupils" refers to the pupils of the eyes; this is the presentation of a metaphor. It is like a person whose eyes are diseased falsely seeing flowers in the sky, tufts of hair, a double moon, and so forth. Furthermore, "inverted" means mad in mind; because the mind is mad, everything seen with the eyes is distorted, such as taking non-relatives as relatives. Those with deviant views are also like this: in the place of essential emptiness they see saṃsāra and nirvāṇa, and within the wondrous luminosity they form false views of conceptual differentiation. "The correct destination" is the true path of bodhi. Going out and then coming back is called "returning." Sentient beings' deluded views do not rely on the correct path, but travel sideways along the five destinies; even if they escape the three realms, they fall into the pit of the unconditioned. Now, he wished to make them not follow deviant tracks, but turn back toward the straight path, without any winding detours. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.1.52) - [Next: 1.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.1.54) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848~en-mt.1.53) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.1.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.1.53) · Pramāṇa
