English	You might think, “Even with diligence, the afflictions cannot be relinquished just by the gaze of the eye of wisdom.” When investigated and analyzed with clear reasoning, the afflictions do not intrinsically reside within external objects like material forms. Also, they do not intrinsically reside within the assemblage of internal faculties like the eye faculty. They do not intrinsically reside in between the objects and faculties either. If they also do not intrinsically reside elsewhere than these three places, where do these afflictions intrinsically exist to cause harm to all beings? They do not remain anywhere; there are no intrinsically existent harm-doers nor harms done. Thus they can be immediately relinquished when acknowledged and understood[p.324]The Great Hum Duckworth, Douglas, trans. The Great Hūṃ: A Commentary on Śāntideva's Way of the Bodhisattva. By Minyak Kunzang Sönam. New York, NY: Wisdom Publications, 2025. according to an ascertainment by reason as to the way that they lack intrinsic existence.

Anumāna - Inference (Skt. anumāna; T. rjes dpag) is a way of knowing something indirectly, using logic and reasoning rather than direct experience. For example, if you see smoke rising from a distant mountain, you can infer that there is a fire there, even if you can't see the fire directly yourself. It's a key way to understand things that are hidden from our senses. It is used in the Buddhist tradition to gain insight into deeper levels of reality of self and phenomena.

Bodhisattva - A person who seeks enlightenment for the sake of others. In Mahāyāna Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a compassionate being who is training on the path to buddhahood and aspires to eliminate the suffering of all beings and take all sentient beings to the state of enlightenment. The Mahāyāna sūtras including those on buddha-nature generally have bodhisattvas as the main audience or interlocutors for the Buddha's discourses. Skt बोधिसत्त्व  Tib བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ།  Ch 菩薩
