If it has a mind, then there is no agent and object; if it does not have a mind, nothingness cannot produce anything. Furthermore, is the object identical \[with consciousness\] or different? If identical, there is no agent and object; if different, it cannot produce it. Examining the mind \[as arising\] from other yields nothing, just as fully explained above. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.251](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.251) - [Next: 5.253](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.253) - [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.5.252) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.252](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.252) · Pramāṇa
