The second line gives the doctrinal explanation, briefly showing namelessness. Traces of being and non-being are like images in a mirror: images, being empty, return to the mirror; traces, being empty, return to nature. This line cuts off characteristics, while the next line leaves behind names. “Profound dwelling” refers to nirvāṇa; because it is the place to which the three vehicles and nine currents return, it is figuratively called a dwelling. Question: If designations are cut off, why establish two names? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.3.46) - [Next: 3.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.3.48) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860~en-mt.3.47) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.3.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.3.47) · Pramāṇa
