As for the basis of the comparative evaluation, three 'plenties' are cited: sixty-two koṭis refers to plenty of fields of merit; to the end of one's physical life refers to plenty of time; being fully provided with the four requisites refers to plenty of seeds \[of giving\]. The old \[commentators\] had only these three points; now, upholding many names makes four 'plenties' in total, which serve as the basis of the comparative evaluation. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2.28) - [Next: 2.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2.30) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728~en-mt.2.29) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2.29) · Pramāṇa
