Some say they appear in the world kalpa after kalpa, competing that none came before; others say they are born age after age, vying to declare their antiquity. These are remote matters and difficult to verify. Now, relying on historical records, we determine their eras: speaking in terms of human relations, the elder is revered and the junior is lowly; speaking in terms of the local community, there is the elder brother and the younger brother. This is the sixth difference, regarding priority. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2110.6.68) - [Next: 6.70](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2110.6.70) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2110.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2110~en-mt.6.69) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [廣弘明集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.13.102) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2110.6.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2110.6.69) · Pramāṇa
