With such wisdom of great skillful means, they extinguished beginningless ignorance, realized the fundamental Dharmakāya, and spontaneously gave rise to various autonomous and differentiated activities of inconceivable karma, whose functioning pervades the dharmadhātu, being coextensive with tathatā, and yet no mark of function can be apprehended. Why? Because all Tathāgatas are solely the ultimate truth of the Dharmakāya, without any functioning within the realm of conventional truth." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.4.76) - [Next: 4.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.4.78) - [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.4.77) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大乘起信論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.yogacara.mahayanasraddhotpadasastra*zh-siksananda.1.25) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.4.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.4.77) · Pramāṇa
