Now, only to state the essentials: signs do not exceed four kinds: first, seeing signs in dreams; second, when walking the path, hearing a voice in space, or seeing unusual marks and various wondrous portents; third, while sitting, witnessing signs of good, evil, breaking the precepts, keeping the precepts, and so forth; fourth, taking inner realization of various Dharma gates, the unfolding of the mind directed to the path, and so forth as signs. These are judged according to the severity \[of the offense\] and cannot be stated definitively; below, when examining the wholesome and unwholesome root dispositions, they will be briefly set forth again. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.2.43) - [Next: 2.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.2.45) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916~en-mt.2.44) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.2.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.2.44) · Pramāṇa
