Why then speak of the various consciousnesses in broad and condensed terms? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 57.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.57.3) - [Next: 57.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.57.5) - [Up: 57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.57) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.57.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.57.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.57.4) · Pramāṇa
