26. Dvādaśāṅga (द्वादशाङ्ग)

Summary

Chapter 26 is the twelve links. Ignorance, formations, consciousness, and the rest are the Buddha's chain. The verses say those links are taught as dependent, not as twelve natures lined up in a row. Stopping the chain is not the destruction of twelve things that first existed on their own.

नेपालीमा

अध्याय २६ बाह्र अङ्ग हुन्। अविद्या, संस्कार, विज्ञान र अरू बुद्धको शृङ्खला हुन्। श्लोकहरूले ती अङ्ग भर पर्ने रूपमा सिकाइएका हुन् भन्छन्, लहरमा उभिएका बाह्र स्वभाव होइनन्। शृङ्खला रोक्नु पहिले आफैँ भएका बाह्र वस्तु नाश गर्नु होइन।
