If syllables refer to me as Buddha, those syllables also refer to all Buddhas; the svabhāva of those syllables has no distinction. This is called equality of syllables. What is equality of words? It means that my sixty-four kinds of Brahmā-voice sounds arise in conjunction, and those Tathāgatas, Arhats, Samyaksambuddhas are also like this: sixty-four kinds of Brahmā-voice sounds arise in conjunction, without increase or decrease, without distinction, having the nature of the kalaviṅka Brahmā-voice. What is equality of bodies? There is no distinction between my and the Buddhas' Dharmakāya and the marks and signs of the form-body, except that in order to tame diverse sentient beings in various destinies, various distinct form-bodies are manifested. This is called equality of bodies. What is equality of dharmas? It means that I and those Buddhas attain the thirty-seven factors of awakening, briefly stating the unobstructed wisdom of the Buddha-dharmas. These are called the four equalities. Therefore, the Tathāgata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha proclaims such words in the great assembly." Then the World-Honoured One, wishing to proclaim this meaning once more, spoke a verse: > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.36) - [Next: 3.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.38) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789~en-mt.3.37) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [འཕགས་པ་ལང་ཀར་གཤེགས་པའི་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*bo.5.2) — Classical Tibetan - [འཕགས་པ་ལང་ཀར་གཤེགས་པ་རིན་པོ་ཆེའི་མདོ་ལས་སངས་རྒྱས་ཐམས་ཅད་ཀྱི་གསུང་གི་སྙིང་པོ་ཞེས་བྱ་བའི་ལེའུ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*bo-d108.5.4) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.37) · Pramāṇa
