If one opens up the assemblies of the nāgas and the three vehicles, as well as the three people after Maitreya—Mañjuśrī and Samantabhadra \[counted twice/separately\]—it becomes one hundred and twenty-five. This is because Maitreya states: "This son of a guild master, having passed through one hundred and ten spiritual benefactors, only then came to my dwelling," which shows that prior to Maitreya there were already one hundred and ten. And with the spiritual benefactors numerous as the paramāṇus of a trichiliocosm, the number of divisions becomes far greater; if they are combined into one, there are one hundred and twenty-six divisions. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.4.9) - [Next: 4.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.4.11) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735~en-mt.4.10) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.4.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.4.10) · Pramāṇa
