Since it is termed provisional conventional, how could it be both conventional and non-conventional? Since it is not both conventional and non-conventional, it should be neither conventional nor non-conventional. Since it is termed provisional conventional, how could it be neither conventional nor non-conventional? The provisional conventional being so, the provisional ultimate is also like this. Therefore, both truths are free from the four propositions. Since they are vertically free from the four propositions, they horizontally cut off the hundred negations. This, then, is the function of the level path: the two truths are not different; the conventional truth cuts off the four propositions of conventional truth, and the ultimate truth cuts off the four propositions of ultimate truth; the conventional truth cuts off the four propositions of the intrinsic substantiality of conventional truth, and the ultimate truth cuts off the four propositions of the intrinsic substantiality of ultimate truth. Therefore, the two truths are equal; this is the function of the level path. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1854.3.28) - [Next: 3.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1854.3.30) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1854.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1854~en-mt.3.29) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1854.3.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1854.3.29) · Pramāṇa
