The three explanations here can be understood from the text, and for now the latter master's position is taken as correct. Thus the \*Mahāvibhāṣā\*, fascicle 177, states: "The arbiter says: All that has been stated here are merely skillful praises of the measure of a bodhisattva's merit based on pure intention, yet none have arrived at the actuality. The real meaning is: the measure of each and every merit generated by a bodhisattva is limitless and boundless. Because a bodhisattva has accumulated and perfected the pāramitās over three incalculable eons, the volitions and aspirations induced are extraordinarily vast; only a Buddha can know it, and it cannot be fathomed by others." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 18.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.18.77) - [Next: 18.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.18.79) - [Up: 18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.18) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821~en-mt.18.78) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [俱舍論疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.18.77) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.18.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.18.78) · Pramāṇa
