If mental dharmas are associated with craving, then there is pleasure; when associated with anger, then there is suffering; when associated with delusion, there is neither suffering nor pleasure. Deducing from this, one can know whether there is pleasure or no pleasure." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.614.2.20) - [Next: 2.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.614.2.22) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.614.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.614~en-mt.2.21) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.614.2.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.614.2.21) · Pramāṇa
