Thus, halting speech expresses understanding; it is not out of feeling unsuited." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 10.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.10.42) - [Next: 10.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.10.44) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.10) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103~en-mt.10.43) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.10.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.10.43) · Pramāṇa
