The first text also has four precepts and three exhortations. The four precepts are: first, Rocana; second, Śākyamuni; third, the bodhisattvas; fourth, sentient beings. The three exhortations are: first, exhorting reception; second, exhorting upholding; third, exhorting recitation. The obtaining of these four precepts has its origin: through fundamental transmission and receipt of prediction to attain buddhahood, one is exhorted to receive them. Having received them, one must uphold them; having upheld them, one must recite them, so that the Buddha-seed is not severed. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1812.1.22) - [Next: 1.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1812.1.24) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1812.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1812~en-mt.1.23) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1812.1.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1812.1.23) · Pramāṇa
