It is like a teacher going and the disciple following; their activities are not different. However, although it speaks of the conjunction of king and concomitants, in principle this must be differentiated with reference to the object. \[Regarding\] "their ability to know being identical": there are two essences here, and because they are conjoined, they are called identical. \[Regarding\] "the cognized object being identical": here there is only a single object; because it is faced by \[both\] king and concomitants, it is called identical. Thus, although subject and object are both termed "identical", the meaning of "identity" is different. Furthermore, \[regarding\] "Moreover, regarding...", and so on: it explains the meaning of "identical" in terms of mind and object; this means that the mind follows the object, and this is termed "identical"—identity is precisely conjunction. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 12.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.12.50) - [Next: 12.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.12.52) - [Up: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.12) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848~en-mt.12.51) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.12.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.12.51) · Pramāṇa
