The true source cannot be measured; how could names and words fathom its origins? Yet non-speaking does not terminate speaking: relying on essence, it stirs its myriad functions. Having no phenomena does not preclude discriminating phenomena: according with conditions, they are revealed through the single emptiness. To illuminate phenomena one must necessarily speak of emptiness; when explaining essence, how could one not unfold function? Therefore, when traces are withdrawn, the conditioned mind has nothing to rely upon; when marks are eliminated, the deluded consciousness has no support. Only then can it be called arising from conditions, and will it conform with the dharmadhātu. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1.30) - [Next: 1.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1.32) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875~en-mt.1.31) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1.31) · Pramāṇa
