(Yan Shigu's commentary states: Seven chi make a fathom \[ren\]. 'Peak' \[yue\] refers to a mountain that is high and vast. It is an analogy: when a person climbs a mountain peak of myriad fathoms, they cannot reach it in one step; they must start from below to reach its height above.) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.1.37) - [Next: 1.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.1.39) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118~en-mt.1.38) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.1.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.1.38) · Pramāṇa
