In the first part there are again two: first, individually listing the assemblies; later, clarifying paying homage to the Buddha and each withdrawing to sit down. The fifteen assemblies are divided into two: first, clarifying the assemblies of inner protectors; later, clarifying the assemblies of outer protectors. The inner protectors have two: first, clarifying the śrāvakas; later, clarifying the bodhisattvas. The śrāvakas have two: first, clarifying the bhikṣus; later, clarifying the assembly of nuns. Among the bhikṣus there are two: first, those with renown and high virtue; later, those without renown and of great virtue. In the first there are three: 1. designating the category and citing the number; 2. praising their virtues; 3. listing their names; this is the first. It has two fulfillments: 1. number, and 2. practice. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.1.79) - [Next: 1.81](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.1.81) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.1.80) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.1.80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.1.80) · Pramāṇa
