One hundred and thirty kalpas is for people of superior capacity; one hundred and eighty kalpas is for people of middling capacity; and 'in the past, immeasurable kalpas' is for people of inferior capacity. By briefly mentioning the differences of these three capacities, the principle of sympathetic resonance (ganying) is briefly encompassed. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.259](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.8.259) - [Next: 8.261](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.8.261) - [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.8.260) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.8.260](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.8.260) · Pramāṇa
