東南方諸梵云一百八十劫空過無有佛,次南方梵云過百三十劫今乃得一見,今此文云於昔無量劫空過無有佛,何故三處不同耶?

Question: The Brahmās of the southeast say that one hundred and eighty kalpas passed in vain without a Buddha; the Brahmās of the southern direction further say that after one hundred and thirty kalpas they now get to see [one] once; and here this passage says that in the past, immeasurable kalpas passed in vain without a Buddha. Why are these three places different?
