Is there anyone today who can distinguish it? Bring it forth and let us see." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.17) - [Next: 1.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.19) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992~en-mt.1.18) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.18) · Pramāṇa
