Answer: Because the divisions of day and night are indeterminate in different regions; that is, because the sūtras are to be circulated across all regions, the divisions would state many different times. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774.1.17) - [Next: 1.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774.1.19) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774~en-mt.1.18) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774.1.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774.1.18) · Pramāṇa
