Mentioning seven days is just speaking in proximate terms; if even that moves that heaven, how much more so an entire lifetime—how could one not attain it? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1896.2.75) - [Next: 2.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1896.2.77) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1896.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1896~en-mt.2.76) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [法苑珠林](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.89.6) — 道世, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1896.2.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1896.2.76) · Pramāṇa
