Answer: It is not parallel. Whenever arising and ceasing arises, it must rely on the real and gather principle, and principle is not lost; the real does not necessarily rely on arising and ceasing, and thus it eliminates attributes without retaining them. Because it eliminates attributes without retaining them, it demonstrates essence; because principle is not lost, it demonstrates the three greatnesses. The sense of subsuming is equal; the sense of demonstrating is distinct. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1.21) - [Next: 1.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1.23) - [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.1.22) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大乘起信論義記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.2.18) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1.22) · Pramāṇa
