Although the names of benevolence and compassion are the same as those in the four immeasurables, their essences are distinct and cannot be categorized together; hence, it is only upon reaching the ultimate fruit that they receive the designation of 'great.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.164](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.3.164) - [Next: 3.166](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.3.166) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925~en-mt.3.165) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.3.165](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.3.165) · Pramāṇa
