In the simile there are two parts: first, displaying his manifested virtue; second, from "that great..." downward, sustaining the body through the power of mantras. The application also has two parts: first, applying to the manifested virtue. Therein, first, applying to using medicines without any exhaustion; next, from "cultivating and studying..." downward, applying to the power of mantras as skillful means. Later, from "well able..." downward, applying to those who see him being cured of illness. Second, from "and abiding..." downward, applying to sustaining the body through the power of mantras. Using the aforementioned mantras and medicines, he sustains his abiding for many kalpas; hence it is abbreviated and does not re-explain that the medicines and mantras are able to sustain. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 49.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.49.17) - [Next: 49.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.49.19) - [Up: 49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.49) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735~en-mt.49.18) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.49.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.49.18) · Pramāṇa
