The previous question argued that if it exists, it cannot be the whole; now it is answered that it is the whole. This means that principle is not different from manifold specks of dust, and therefore the entire substance of the nature of principle pervades manifold specks of dust. It is also not different from a single speck of dust, so it does not obstruct its also pervading this single speck of dust. Speaking tentatively in terms of designations: just as a single father faces ten sons, to each one he is completely his father. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.221](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1884.1.221) - [Next: 1.223](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1884.1.223) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1884.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1884~en-mt.1.222) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1884.1.222](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1884.1.222) · Pramāṇa
