The pravāraṇā karmavācanā in principle connects to the ten directions; harmoniously united as the Saṅgha, it makes no distinction between ordinary beings and sages. Their spirit is like an encompassing sea, boundless in its deep moistening; their majesty is like the fire of the earth, producing merit without end. Therefore, they can eliminate the thief of greed and the suffering before one's eyes, allowing one to follow the three \[realms\] and be born in heaven, naturally attaining timely liberation. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2781.1.16) - [Next: 1.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2781.1.18) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2781.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2781~en-mt.1.17) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2781.1.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2781.1.17) · Pramāṇa
