A person of Pūrvavideha drinks one thousand eight hundred hu of milk; a person of Aparagodānīya drinks ten thousand eight hundred hu of milk; a person of Uttarakuru fully forms a body in seven days, and on the day of birth is placed at the head of a thoroughfare, where passers-by offer their fingers to suck, and for this reason they drink no milk. (These hu and dou are the ancient small dou; three dou correspond to one dou of today. Ancient people's bodies were exceptionally large and unlike the small ones today; fearing people would think it strange that the amounts are so great, it is specially noted here.) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 69.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69.47) - [Next: 69.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69.49) - [Up: 69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.69.48) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [諸經要集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.13.23) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69.48) · Pramāṇa
