This seems needless, but none of the passages are very decisive one way or the other. - [Previous: v1.c3.s18.706](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.706) - [Next: v1.c3.s18.708](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.708) - [Up: v1.c3.s18](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.707](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.707) · Pramāṇa
