It is like the milk drunk from water by a swan.' > > The commentary explains: 'For example, although water and milk are mixed together, when a swan drinks, it drinks only the milk and does not drink the water; therefore, although the milk is exhausted, the water is not depleted. The fundamental consciousness and the non-fundamental consciousnesses are also like this: although they are conjoined, one ceases and one remains.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 51.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.51.12) - [Next: 51.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.51.14) - [Up: 51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.51) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.51.13) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [攝大乘論釋](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.yogacara.mahayanasamgraha!bhasya*zh-paramartha.3.248) — Classical Chinese - [攝大乘論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.yogacara.mahayanasamgraha*zh-paramartha.1.62) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.51.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.51.13) · Pramāṇa
