If the water ceased, the moving marks would be severed, because without that which is relied upon (the water), there is nothing that can rely upon it (the movement); because the essence of the water does not cease, the moving marks continue. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.120](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.3.120) - [Next: 3.122](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.3.122) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850~en-mt.3.121) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.3.121](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.3.121) · Pramāṇa
