Furthermore, residing in the realm of seeing and hearing, it is beyond the reach of seeing and hearing; dwelling at the limit of thought and deliberation, it cannot be fathomed by thought and deliberation. All this is because the inconceivable essence is itself unobtainable; therefore, that which is thought cannot be thought. The sūtra says: "That which is thought cannot be thought; / this is called inconceivable." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1.36) - [Next: 1.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1.38) - [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.1.37) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1.37) · Pramāṇa
