Why? The teachings originally adapt to conditions; conditions are summarily fourfold, the teachings are also fourfold, and the lords of teachings are also fourfold. All are called Dharma Kings, endowed with the King Samādhi, who themselves break through the twenty-five states of existence and benefit sentient beings with the seven benefits, by analogy with what was explained before. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.7.1) - [Next: 7.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.7.3) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.7.2) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.7.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.7.2) · Pramāṇa
