In truth, seven each in the human and heavenly realms make fourteen births; adding intermediate existence to each makes twenty-eight. Because each has seven equally, it is called 'seven births'. Just as in the seven stations of skillfulness, the five skandhas each have seven, totaling thirty-five stations, yet it is simply named 'seven stations' because the numbers are equal. Like the \*saptaparṇa\* tree, because each separate part has seven leaves, it is not merely seven leaves in total. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 23.177](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.23.177) - [Next: 23.179](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.23.179) - [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.23.178) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.23.178](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.23.178) · Pramāṇa
