As "constant," it does not change across a hundred kings; as "method," it serves as the identical model across a thousand generations; as "subsuming," it embraces all explanations; as "stringing together," it connects through the wondrous Principle. Hence it is said: "The Sūtra Spoken by the Buddha on Amitābha." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758.1.3) - [Next: 1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758.1.5) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758~en-mt.1.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758.1.4) · Pramāṇa
