Within the brief there are also two parts: first clarifying the perfuming of the real, then revealing the perfuming of the deluded. This is the first. Saying that there is suchness perfuming avidyā reveals that the real which can perfume, because it possesses the meanings of the greatness of essence, attributes, and function, can perfume avidyā internally and externally. The text from "because of perfuming" clarifies the capacity: that is, the two greatnesses of essence and attributes of suchness serve as the internal cause force of perfuming, while the greatness of function serving as the hearing of perfuming is the external condition force, which causes avidyā to produce a pure deluded mind that loathes the suffering of the three realms and seeks the joy of liberation. The real fundamentally has neither saṃsāra nor nirvāṇa; therefore, joy and loathing belong to the deluded mind. This is the pure function produced by the perfuming of suchness. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.11) - [Next: 2.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.13) - [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.2.12) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大乘起信論廣釋卷第三．四．五](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4.34) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.12) · Pramāṇa
