27.21

論「十十倍增至前前十倍」,答也。有七重挍量:一凡象;二香象;三摩訶諾健那(此神名也,此名大路形也);四鉢羅塞建提(亦是神名,鉢羅此云勝,塞建提此云蘊);五伐浪伽(亦是神名,此云妙支);六遮怒羅(亦是神名,此云執持);七那羅延(已如前說)。即此七重,後後力勝前前十倍。

"The Śāstra says: 'Increasing ten times by ten [...] ten times each preceding one'": this is the answer. There are seven tiers of comparison: first, an ordinary elephant; second, a fragrant elephant; third, mahānagna (this is the name of a deity, translated here as 'form of the great road'); fourth, praskandin (also the name of a deity; 'pra' is translated as superior, and 'skandin' is translated as aggregate); fifth, varaṅga (also the name of a deity, translated here as excellent limb); sixth, cāṇūra (also the name of a deity, translated here as grasper); seventh, Nārāyaṇa (as explained previously). Across these seven tiers, each subsequent strength is ten times greater than the preceding one.
