"Seven days": the ancient explanation says it expresses crossing the seven upāyas before seeing one's fundamental stage. Furthermore, it should also be that at that mountain place he first purifies the faults of the seven branches of body and speech, and only thereafter is able to see the true good friend. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 18.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.18.56) - [Next: 18.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.18.58) - [Up: 18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.18) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733~en-mt.18.57) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.18.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.18.57) · Pramāṇa
