Because this Dharma is superior, it was spoken at the initial time and in a superior place. This has three meanings: First, the initial time of this sūtra expresses that the root Dharma is superior. Second, that the branch teachings are also the same expresses that the branches do not depart from the root. Third, to reveal that the root is not the branch, therefore the time is fixed as the second seven days, with no other differing account. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1734.1.30) - [Next: 1.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1734.1.32) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1734.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1734~en-mt.1.31) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [華嚴經探玄記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.2.11) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1734.1.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1734.1.31) · Pramāṇa
