Seventh, road layout: there are eight intersecting roads, because of cultivating the eight precepts and the eightfold noble path; there being four east-west and four north-south makes them called 'eight intersecting roads'; or there are eight east-west and eight north-south, named after one direction; or the roads of the eight directions are called 'eight intersecting roads,' as nine tracks in a square road is called a thoroughfare (kui). Eighth, road adornment: golden cords border the roads, brought about by practicing the four dhāraṇīs. Ninth, groves and copses: rows of trees of the seven treasures, because of cultivating the seven noble treasures and upholding the seven branches of moral discipline. Tenth, fruits: there will constantly be flowers and fruits, because of being nurtured by constantly cultivating the causes of the seven limbs of awakening and the eight liberations. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.95](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.95) - [Next: 5.97](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.97) - [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.5.96) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.96](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.96) · Pramāṇa
