The second precedent is "Hu languages vs. Sanskrit words": first, in the Five Indies, it is purely Sanskrit. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.3.34) - [Next: 3.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.3.36) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061~en-mt.3.35) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.3.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.3.35) · Pramāṇa
