The teaching only clarified the stage where both are complete; now, presenting the analogy, it only reveals the lack of the real \[condition\]. In the application, it will properly clarify the merits and faults of completeness and deficiency. Here the teaching and analogy complement and imply each other. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4.46) - [Next: 4.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4.48) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814~en-mt.4.47) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4.47) · Pramāṇa
