Because the one capable of praising is the unexcelled Great Awakened One, who possesses all-knowledge and unhindered eloquence, whatever he praises is without exception exhaustive. Now, it is not only praised by one Buddha, but adduces all Buddhas of the ten directions; thus the persons are superior and numerous. Moreover, it is not for a brief time, but each praises for immeasurable and countless kalpas; thus the duration of praising is long. It does not say that many Buddhas praising his merit for a long time can reach its limit; rather, it further states that they 'still cannot exhaust it'; thus we know this is a teaching of rich meaning and concise text. Compared to texts comparing superiority in other places, this is truly ultimate. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 20.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.20.40) - [Next: 20.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.20.42) - [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.20.41) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.20.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.20.41) · Pramāṇa
