I do not know: is the wisdom that can know it the ultimate truth, or is it the conventional truth?" > The Prince's decree replied, saying: "The grasper is wisdom; the grasped is the realm. When wisdom comes to merge with the realm, it may be said to be identical to the true." > He further inquired: "Is the person possessing wisdom the ultimate truth, or is he the conventional truth?" > The decree replied: "If one speaks of the person possessing wisdom, that is precisely the conventional truth." > He further inquired: "I do not know: how can a person of conventional truth possess wisdom of the ultimate truth?" > The decree replied: "Because the sage can forget the conventional, he can possess true wisdom." > He further inquired: "Since this person has merged with the unarisen, he should likewise not be called a person." > The decree replied: "Merging with the unarisen, one cannot speak of a person; provisionally speaking through names and characteristics, there is ever a person." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 21.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.28) - [Next: 21.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.30) - [Up: 21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103~en-mt.21.29) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.29) · Pramāṇa
