Above there were originally two: first, explaining the doubt; second, the proper entreaty. Now within these fourteen lines of verse, they are also divided into two: first, there are eleven lines of verse versifying the above doubt; second, from "We, hearing from the Buddha" onward, three lines versify the above proper entreaty. However, within the doubt above there were two: first, explaining the doubt by exposition by dharma; second, explaining the doubt by exposition through parable. Now within the eleven lines of verse they are also divided into two: first, there are five lines versifying the exposition by dharma; and the remaining six lines versify the exposition through parable. From "We, hearing from the Buddha" onward, these three lines are the second \[part\] within the verses, which versify the second \[part\], the proper entreaty, within the prose above. However, within the proper entreaty above there were originally two: first, explaining that Maitreya recounts that he himself has understood; second, properly entreating on behalf of those who have not understood. Now these three lines are also divided into two: first, there is a half line of verse versifying the first, explaining that Maitreya recounts that he himself has understood; second, there remain two and a half lines versifying the above second, properly entreating on behalf of those who have not understood. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.8.22) - [Next: 8.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.8.24) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715~en-mt.8.23) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.8.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.8.23) · Pramāṇa
