There are two senses here: The perfuming of defilement and purity both exist without beginning; why is it that defiled perfuming has a termination, while pure perfuming is without interruption? Only when defilement and purity are mutually conditioned does the meaning of perfuming hold; if one has already attained buddhahood, there are no defiled dharmas, so how can it be said that the perfuming of pure dharmas is without interruption? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.41) - [Next: 2.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.43) - [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.2.42) — 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.2814.4.64) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.42) · Pramāṇa
