If mind arises because it depends on arising and non-arising, just as by depending on long and short one has long, this falls into two faults. If each exists, two arisings exist side by side; if each does not exist, it is entirely unattainable, as before. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.242](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.242) - [Next: 5.244](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.244) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911~en-mt.5.243) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.243](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.243) · Pramāṇa
