Since the non-conceptual principle has already been completed, why trouble to explain further the multiple approaches such as "middle" and "identical"? Such is the question. Answer: It fully contains concession and refutation; the text is evident and can be known. Question: Why are the six approaches not explained before asking and answering? Answer: The sixth approach generally concludes the previous meanings; therefore, by explaining the five approaches, its meaning is already exhausted. "Completed" (liaoshou) is a phrase meaning the business is finished. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1887b.2.15) - [Next: 2.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1887b.2.17) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1887b.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1887b~en-mt.2.16) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1887b.2.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1887b.2.16) · Pramāṇa
