Furthermore, the Nirvāṇa [Sūtra] says that a bodhisattva of the first reliance encounters five Ganges sands of Buddhas, the second reliance six Ganges sands, up to the bodhisattva of the fourth reliance encountering eight Ganges sands of Buddhas; the fourth reliance is the tenth-bhūmi bodhisattva. Therefore we know that during two asaṃkhyeyas one encounters immeasurable Buddhas. However, the Sarvāstivāda school says that in the first asaṃkhyeya he encountered 75,000 Buddhas, in the second asaṃkhyeya 76,000 Buddhas, and in the third asaṃkhyeya 77,000 Buddhas.
