Because this flower grows beside the city gate, it is named after it. This is also in South India. The boy and girl signify wisdom and compassion supporting each other: wisdom arises relying on virtue, and compassion is completed by accumulating virtue. The older translation called \[him\] Wondrous Virtue, corresponding to the present Birth of Virtue (\*Śrīsaṃbhava\*). Wondrous Virtuous Wisdom corresponds to the present Possessing Virtue (\*Śrīmatī\*). In the original language, the name is \*Śrīmat\*, which means possessing virtue; \*Śrīmati\* means virtuous wisdom. Because the sounds and characters are close, the two translations differ. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 20.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.20.41) - [Next: 20.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.20.43) - [Up: 20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.20) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733~en-mt.20.42) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.20.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.20.42) · Pramāṇa
