In the prose above there were five, but here only three are versified: the first two lines versify the second, adducing a parable to question the monks; the next two lines versify the fourth, explaining the great length of the past; the next two lines versify the fifth, praising the Buddha's wisdom. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.217](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.8.217) - [Next: 8.219](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.8.219) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721~en-mt.8.218) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.8.218](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.8.218) · Pramāṇa
