Its nature is solely unobscured and indeterminate; because it merely arises based on sound and is not directly produced by the power of the mind. Sound is directly produced by the power of the mind and therefore encompasses the three natures. Since it is solely indeterminate, it is solely contaminated; if it were uncontaminated, it would be wholesome in nature. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.243](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2812.1.243) - [Next: 1.245](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2812.1.245) - [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.1.244) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2812.1.244](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2812.1.244) · Pramāṇa
