Furthermore, names depend on words, and words depend on vitarka and vicāra. When the mind of vitarka and vicāra does not arise, both subject and object are entirely empty. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 96.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.96.8) - [Next: 96.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.96.10) - [Up: 96](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.96) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.96.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.96.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.96.9) · Pramāṇa
