Answer: Non-arising definitely does not depend on arising to be established; being non-arising, it only demonstrates essence. Arising definitely depends on non-arising; arising contains non-arising, so within arising the three greatnesses are fully present. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1.19) - [Next: 1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1.21) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849~en-mt.1.20) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1.20) · Pramāṇa
