ATTRIBUTES OF MUCH UTILITY IN THE DEBATE
What
are the attributes (dharma) of much utility (bahukara) in the debate?
Three attributes are of much utility in the debate: (1) Knowledge of
one's own and the other's context (svaparasamayajnata), (2)
Confidence (vaisaradya), (3) Resource- fulness (pratibhana).
問：如是三法於所立論，何故名為多有所作？答：能善了知自他宗故，於一切法能起談論。勇猛無畏故，處一切眾能起談論。辯才無竭故，隨所問難皆善酬答。是故此三，於所立論多有所作。
[解]問：如是三法於所立論，什麼理由說有很多的作用呢？答：能夠善巧的了知，自家的宗旨，和對方宗旨，於一切法，都會發起善巧的言論，所以多有所作。勇猛無畏故，處一切眾能起談論，所以能夠多有所作。智慧辯才沒有窮盡，所以能夠善巧回答他的難問。是故此三，於所立論多有所作。kasmād

Why
are these three attributes said to be of much utility? It is this
way: (1) The first speaker, by knowing one's own and the other's
context, is able to make a discourse on all given matters. (2) By
confidence one is able to deliver a discourse to all groups. (3) By
resourcefulness one is able to offer reply to everyone who addresses
[with challenge of response]. Therefore, these three attributes are
said to be of much utility. The foregoing are the attributes of much
utility in the debate.
Summation
verse: The debate and its setting, its foundation; its ornaments and
points of defeat; undertaking it, and what are of much utility for
it.
