The tasks they undertake are steadfast and brought to completion, never interrupted or abandoned; in the face of great matters they have no faintheartedness and do not belittle themselves. Capable of accomplishing difficult deeds, they are fearless and undaunted, able to bring about benefit. Even in the midst of great tasks they do not feel deep exhaustion, much less in minor affairs. Such classes of things are called the characteristic marks of vīrya. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.1.6) - [Next: 1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.1.8) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862~en-mt.1.7) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [瑜伽師地論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.yogacara.yogacarabhumi*zh-xuanzang.35.43) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.1.7) · Pramāṇa
