Within this there are two: first, clarifying what can be done in terms of the dharmas; second, harmonizing the marks to resolve hidden doubts. In the first there are also two: first, a general revelation in terms of dharmas; second, citing the extensive to seek by analogy. This is the first. Previously, the path of subduing was clarified: subduing and removing erroneous attachments was called the antidote. Now the path of eradication is clarified: being forever free from deluded attachments is called ultimate freedom. Comprehensively citing the conditions of attachment reveals the absence of self-nature; because that which is grasped does not exist, that which grasps does not arise. When the mind has nothing upon which to rely, it is spontaneously liberated; therefore it says "ultimate freedom from deluded attachments," and so forth. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.116](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.116) - [Next: 2.118](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.118) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813~en-mt.2.117) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [大乘起信論義記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3.291) — Classical Chinese - [大乘起信論廣釋卷第三．四．五](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4.140) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.117](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.117) · Pramāṇa
