The commentary uses this to section the treatise text; in the sūtra, 'deluded thought' is ignorance. As for 'ignorance produces the three subtle marks,' the text below speaks of their producing one another in turn; here it speaks merely in terms of the root, and therefore says 'ignorance is the cause.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 11.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.11.3) - [Next: 11.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.11.5) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.11) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848~en-mt.11.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.11.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.11.4) · Pramāṇa
