Comprehensively considered, there are three kinds of preparatory activities in all: first, bodily preparation, namely inhalation and exhalation, because through inhalation and exhalation the body is maintained; second, verbal preparation, namely investigation and analysis, because without investigation and analysis there is no speech; third, mental preparation, namely sensation and conceptualization, because when these cease, the mind ceases accordingly. Therefore, investigation and analysis are said to be the causes of speech. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.221](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2812.1.221) - [Next: 1.223](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2812.1.223) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2812.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2812~en-mt.1.222) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2812.1.222](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2812.1.222) · Pramāṇa
