Through analysis, the discerning alone advance; through enticement, the ignorant vie to go forward." The objection says: If ornateness does not block principle, it is molded by penetrating insight; if substance does not reach emptiness, it is engaged through boring and seeking. Does that which molds in orderly succession assist the ignorant, or does it await the discerning? If it assists the ignorant, the discerning do not advance alone; if it must await the discerning, the ignorant will not manage to go forward. If both the discerning and the ignorant benefit, what need is there to suppress or entice? Subtle matters are difficult to set forth, and what is appropriate should be debated further. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.7.15) - [Next: 7.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.7.17) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102~en-mt.7.16) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.7.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.7.16) · Pramāṇa
