However, there are three meanings: 1. Life spans vary in length, for some die immediately after birth. 2. Compared to the higher realms, the time is extremely brief. 3. Moment-by-moment transition, arising and immediately perishing. Because of these three meanings, it says "a short time." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.167](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.7.167) - [Next: 7.169](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.7.169) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702~en-mt.7.168) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.7.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.7.168) · Pramāṇa
