Only the wisdom of the Tathāgata can know them; therefore, faith and so forth have distinctions of earlier and later." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.4.36) - [Next: 4.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.4.38) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850~en-mt.4.37) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.4.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.4.37) · Pramāṇa
