Can cold characteristics be found within heat? If there are names and characteristics within the signless, there should likewise be this cold within fire." > The decree replied: "Fire is ever hot of itself; one deludedly perceives that there is cold. This is the confusion of the confused, which never alters \[the heat\]." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 21.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.29) - [Next: 21.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.31) - [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.21.30) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.30) · Pramāṇa
