'Possessing the notion of form internally, one externally contemplates forms' is as in the first liberation; in speaking of 'limited,' it is called limited because the cognitive object is limited. If the path of contemplation is not yet strong, one must contemplate limited causes and conditions. In contemplating vast \[objects\], one fears difficulty in concentration and being unable to transform at will. If, contemplating the impurity within limited fair or foul dharmas, one transforms with sovereignty, penetrates without obstruction, has neither grasping nor discarding in mind, and gives rise to neither love nor hate, this is called mastery of knowledge and mastery of vision. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.2.51) - [Next: 2.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.2.53) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925~en-mt.2.52) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.2.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.2.52) · Pramāṇa
