Only those endowed with the lineage of the two vehicles are properly called "sons"; hence \[the sūtra\] says "ten, twenty." As they are also conjoined with the bodhisattva nature, they are indeterminate. When it says "even up to a hundred," this is because they practice a hundred practices; this refers to the stage of being initially taught to arouse the mind \[for awakening\]. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.478](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.9.478) - [Next: 9.480](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.9.480) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.9.479) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.9.479](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.9.479) · Pramāṇa
