The others who worked together with him in translation were all the talents of the age and treasures of a generation. Surpassing those who came after and outshining those who came before, they were beyond what ordinary men could look up to. Therefore, what he translated gave priority to awakening and comprehension, capturing the intended meaning of what the Buddha had entrusted." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 14.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14.53) - [Next: 14.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14.55) - [Up: 14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.14.54) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [律相感通傳](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1898.1.52) — Classical Chinese - [道宣律師感通錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2107.1.10) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14.54) · Pramāṇa
