The greatness of the accomplishment of cause corresponds to the first two lines. Kindness and compassion are benefiting others; vows pertain to both benefits; power pertains to all three above, because perfuming and cultivating both benefits differs from the two vehicles, hence called 'power.' The following line is the merit of the two benefits, and giving rise to the practices of the stages is precisely the meaning of cause. Second, the greatness of the gradual accomplishment of cause corresponds to the subsequent second character. The treatise says: 'Explaining the sequence of wisdoms born of hearing, reflection, and so forth, up to being able to accomplish the cause of supramundane wisdom.' The word 'and so forth' here admits of two meanings: First, it equates with what is above; because the wisdom of cultivation is the third greatness, it is not included in 'and so forth.' Second, it includes cultivation, for cultivation is of two kinds: first, cultivation directed at conditions, which is subsumed under this gate; second, true cultivation, which is subsumed under the third. Because the meaning of 'and so forth' contains this, it simply says 'and so forth.' If not, why not simply say 'hearing, reflection, and cultivation,' instead of replacing 'cultivation' with 'and so forth'? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 33.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.33.6) - [Next: 33.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.33.8) - [Up: 33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.33) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735~en-mt.33.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.33.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.33.7) · Pramāṇa
