The Dharma-entrustment verse says: > “The true principle is originally without name; > Because of names the true principle is revealed. > Having received the real Dharma, > It is neither true nor false.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 97.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.97.17) - [Next: 97.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.97.19) - [Up: 97](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.97) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.97.18) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (6) - [佛祖統紀](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.5.15) — 志磐, Classical Chinese - [佛祖歷代通載](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.3.78) — Classical Chinese - [景德傳燈錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.1.99) — Classical Chinese - [釋氏稽古略](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.1.376) — Classical Chinese - [傳法正宗記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2078.2.57) — Classical Chinese - [傳法正宗定祖圖](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2079.1.22) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.97.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.97.18) · Pramāṇa
