At the minimum there are eight persons, and more is also without limit; that is, within a single boundary (sīmā) the Saṅgha is divided into two factions performing monastic acts separately, and therefore eight persons are required. There is no prohibition against exceeding this; hence it says "eight or more." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 18.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.18.24) - [Next: 18.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.18.26) - [Up: 18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.18) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823~en-mt.18.25) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [阿毘達磨順正理論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.abhidharma.abhidharmakosa!nyayanusara*zh-xuanzang.43.36) — Classical Chinese - [阿毘達磨俱舍論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.abhidharma.abhidharmakosa!bhasya*zh-xuanzang.18.14) — Classical Chinese - [阿毘達磨藏顯宗論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.abhidharma.abhidharmakosa!abhidharmakosasastrakarikabhasya*zh-xuanzang.23.40) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.18.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.18.25) · Pramāṇa
