The people were very numerous; 2. The house was perilous and dilapidated; 3. Disasters arose from all directions; 4. The children were roaming and dwelling there. This is the first. The seeds of the five destinies are perfumed by nominal designations; their karmic retribution differs and they are distinguished into five types, each corresponding to factors of existence. The good and bad karmic seeds produced and felt through the ten paths of karma are called the "five hundred"—that is, within the ten paths of karma, there are doing it oneself, instructing others, praising and encouraging, rejoicing, partial, extensive, complete, brief duration, long duration, and for a lifetime; each separately has ten-by-ten, which through cultivation and generation establish the name "five hundred." Alternatively, each of the ten paths of karma is initiated and moistened by ten delusions, hence called "five hundred." These various seeds dwelling within the fundamental consciousness is called "living inside the house." Because these seeds serve as causes, the cycle of the five destinies and its multitude of sufferings never cease. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.177](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.177) - [Next: 5.179](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.179) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.5.178) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.178](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.178) · Pramāṇa
