Answer: One \[theory\] says: it does not exist eternally. If it existed eternally, it would contradict the sūtra which states: "Five hundred million devas further created palaces for Maitreya." Another says: the Bodhisattva's heavenly palace exists constantly throughout the Bhadrakalpa, because a thousand bodhisattvas are born together in that palace. Now the first explanation is superior. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774.1.75) - [Next: 1.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774.1.77) - [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.1.76) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774.1.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774.1.76) · Pramāṇa
