They capture delusive consciousness and unify with the true source; diseases have ten thousand varieties, and medicines have no single standard; therefore the categories of the teaching are divided into twelve divisions. The \*Fazhen\* states: "Prose, reiterative verses, and prophecies of attainment, / Standalone verses, and spontaneous discourses without inquiry, / Causes and conditions, parables, and past events, / Past lives, expansive discourses, marvels, / And analytical treatises together make the twelve names, / Expounded at length in the thirty-third \[fascicle\] of the \*Mahāprajñāpāramitōpadeśa\*." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.4.9) - [Next: 4.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.4.11) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131~en-mt.4.10) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.4.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.4.10) · Pramāṇa
