Furthermore, 'merit' is the essence of the practices, 'flower' is the function of the practices, 'cluster' is the mark of the practices, and 'bodhisattva' is the person; having those virtues, it is an appositional compound (bahuvrīhi). This is an alternative name for Guṇavana (Forest of Merit), similar to the 'Vajradhvaja Pariṇāmanā Chapter' below. 'Ten practices' refers to the factors of the stage, so it is named by including a number. The ten practices of a bodhisattva are also designated by the dependent genitive (tatpuruṣa), with person and Dharma titling the chapter. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.6.22) - [Next: 6.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.6.24) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733~en-mt.6.23) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.6.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.6.23) · Pramāṇa
