In the case of a knife, sharpness belongs only to the blade; what is not the blade does not receive the designation of sharpness. Hence "blade" is an appellation for the entire substance, whereas "sharpness" is the designation of a single part. Since the knife and its sharpness are already not identical, how could body and spirit be arbitrarily equated? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 22.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.22.21) - [Next: 22.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.22.23) - [Up: 22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.22) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103~en-mt.22.22) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.22.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.22.22) · Pramāṇa
