Placing the word 'therefore' at the beginning makes it appear like an adducing of proof; yet looking at the momentum of the subsequent words, it is actually the opening of a chapter. Within the text there are two parts: first, citing one scripture and one treatise to clarify emptiness; later, citing a single treatise to clarify emptiness. Now, this is the first. This text has two parts: first, properly citing one scripture and one treatise to clarify emptiness; later, explaining the intention of the scripture and treatise. Now, this is the first. As for 'the \*Zhonglun\* says,' this generally cites the meaning of the \*Mūlamadhyamakakārikā\*, or it may be the verse from the 'Chapter on the Four Noble Truths'. The verse says: 'Dharmas that arise from causes and conditions, I declare to be empty; they are also provisional designations, and also the meaning of the Middle Way.' 'When investigating principle, it is indeed so': that which this scripture and treatise state is indeed so in principle. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.86](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1859.1.86) - [Next: 1.88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1859.1.88) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1859.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1859~en-mt.1.87) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1859.1.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1859.1.87) · Pramāṇa
