Explanation: In ultimate truth there are only two propositions: first, it is both ultimate and a truth; second, it is ultimate and not a truth. That it is both ultimate and a truth can be known, for the ultimate must be a truth. As for saying 'it is ultimate and not a truth', because it is spoken in accordance with the ultimate it is ultimate, but because it is not the real of sentimental conception it is not a truth—just as previously what was spoken in accordance with conventional truth was not conventional truth, so it is here as well. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.71](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1854.2.71) - [Next: 2.73](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1854.2.73) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1854.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1854~en-mt.2.72) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1854.2.72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1854.2.72) · Pramāṇa
