What are the three? There is the son who follows birth; there is the son who excels birth; there is the son who is inferior to birth. What is the son who follows birth? It refers to when a son's parents do not kill, do not steal, do not engage in sexual misconduct, do not lie, and do not drink alcohol, and the son likewise follows and learns non-killing and the rest. This is called the son who follows birth. What is the son who excels birth? If the parents do not observe non-killing and the rest, but the son can observe non-killing and the rest, this is called the son who excels birth. What is the son who is inferior to birth? If a son's parents do not observe non-killing and the rest, and the son also cannot observe non-killing and the rest, this is called the son who is inferior to birth.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.7.45) - [Next: 7.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.7.47) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123~en-mt.7.46) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.7.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.7.46) · Pramāṇa
