How much more so if one contemplates with a concentrated mind for a single day and night: the duration is longer and the practice superior, so the merit and virtue obtained are truly as stated, inconceivable and unspeakable. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 20.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.20.39) - [Next: 20.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.20.41) - [Up: 20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.20) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848~en-mt.20.40) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.20.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.20.40) · Pramāṇa
