Question: If they are equal because of equally realizing the dharmakāya, why does it only say sixty-two hundred million? Answer: It simply cites a single number. Question: It should only clarify the equality of realizing and entering the dharmakāya; why does it cite the equality of faith? Answer: By citing the faith prior to the bhūmis, it intends to reveal the subsequent realization of equality. Furthermore, the author of the treatise intended to explain all equality comprehensively, and all equality does not go beyond the equality of faith and the equality of realization. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.485](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.3.485) - [Next: 3.487](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.3.487) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818~en-mt.3.486) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.3.486](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.3.486) · Pramāṇa
