'At most' means the maximum number, but it also allows for intermediate rebirths not filling the full seven. That is to say, seven each in the human and heavenly realms, combining to fourteen rebirths; if intermediate existences are included, there are twenty-eight rebirths. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 23.171](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.23.171) - [Next: 23.173](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.23.173) - [Up: 23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.23) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822~en-mt.23.172) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.23.172](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.23.172) · Pramāṇa
