In the sūtra, the three analogies are used to test whether a practitioner is genuine or false; hence the text says: "Practitioners are also like this." Therefore, one tests them with the three: working together, and so on. Now, the text is going to use them to test the states of concentration, which differs from the sūtra's intention; hence it says "borrowing these," etc., only borrowing its analogies, not taking its method. Regarding the contemplation of impurity: depending on which contemplation one originally practiced—whether mindfulness of breathing, impurity, or the like—now, when a state arises in this dhyāna, one simply returns to cultivating in accordance with one's original practice, and thereby tests whether it is heterodox or orthodox. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 19.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.19.46) - [Next: 19.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.19.48) - [Up: 19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.19) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848~en-mt.19.47) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.19.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.19.47) · Pramāṇa
