Above there were four \[points\]: first, considering the three carts; second, knowing the children's prior inclinations; third, praising the rarity of the three carts; fourth, suiting what the children desired. Now in the verse there are only three meanings, omitting the versification of knowing the children's prior inclinations. The first three lines versify the consideration. From "addressed the children" onwards, the second \[part\], three gāthās, exhorts and praises the rarity of the three carts. Above, the three meanings of exhorting, demonstrating, and verifying were explained; now the verse also has three meanings, but by repeatedly versifying exhortation, they become four: the first line versifies exhortation; next, from "goat-drawn carts" onwards, the second \[part\], three phrases, versifies demonstrating; next, "You all come out!", the third \[part\], one phrase, again versifies exhorting; next, from "I for your sake" onwards, the fourth \[part\], one gāthā, versifies verifying. From "Hearing such carts described" onwards, the third \[part\], one and a half lines of verse, versifies suiting what the children desired. Now it summarizes the above six phrases: "racing and running" versifies the above seeing of the truths; "open ground" versifies the above state of non-learning. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.6.10) - [Next: 6.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.6.12) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718~en-mt.6.11) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.6.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.6.11) · Pramāṇa
