That previous simile said: furthermore, when the great ocean completely pervades a single wave, this does not hinder its entire essence from completely pervading all waves; when a single wave completely pervades the great ocean, all waves also each completely pervade it, mutually not obstructing one another. In the text, first it directly questions, and afterwards answers. From “If outside the dust particle there is...” onward, it concludes the objection. If questioned according to the simile, one should say: when the great ocean completely pervades a single wave, is there the great ocean at the locus of other waves, or is there no great ocean? If there is an ocean outside the wave, then its entire essence does not pervade the single wave; if there is no ocean outside the wave, then its entire essence does not pervade all waves. Contrasting with the objection, the text is understandable. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.2.4) - [Next: 2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.2.6) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883~en-mt.2.5) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.2.5) · Pramāṇa
