The syllable \*A\* pervades all syllables; if all syllables lacked the syllable \*A\*, syllables could not be formed—they must have the syllable \*A\*. If a syllable has no head, it cannot form a syllable; therefore, the syllable \*A\* serves as the head. From the single sound of the syllable \*A\*, in all sounds there is the sound of the syllable \*A\*. For those who do not obtain this sound of the syllable \*A\*, it is from the expression of the syllable-sound that sound arises; because sound arises and because there is sound, it pervades the limbs and parts and can express all mundane and supramundane dharmas. If one merely sees its syllable-sound, it can expound the principle, yet it still requires rhymes, speech, teeth, and tongue to express anything, namely: blue, yellow, red, white; east, west, south, north; square, round, large, small; superior, inferior, noble, base—only then can all categories of things be comprehended. Therefore the sūtra states: 'Master of Mysteries! This is the Dharma-gate that pervades all places.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.863.1.6) - [Next: 1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.863.1.8) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.863.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.863~en-mt.1.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.863.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.863.1.7) · Pramāṇa
