Question: "What is the lifespan in the cold nar Milestone naraka hells?" Answer: "The World-Honoured One employed a metaphor to reveal their lifespan, saying: 'Twenty khārīs of this human world make one vāha of sesame in Magadha.' A khārī is translated here as a hu (bushel). A vāha is translated here as a granary. Sesame (mā) is jùténg (sesame). 'The measure of one vāha of sesame' means taking the vāha measure, not intending to take the sesame itself, just as one speaks of 'a granary of grain'. When the verse says 'a vāha of sesame', it intends to take the sesame, just as one speaks of 'a granary's grain'. Suppose one fills it level with sesame, and suppose further that someone removes one every hundred years; such sesame would sooner come to an end. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 11.80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.11.80) - [Next: 11.82](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.11.82) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.11) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823~en-mt.11.81) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [翻譯名義集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2.137) — 法雲, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.11.81](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.11.81) · Pramāṇa
