Second, strength. Third, longevity. Fourth, joy. Fifth, clear speech—the Kośa says: Speech refers to explanatory words. Sixth, eloquence—the Kośa says: Eloquence refers to successive words without impediment. Seventh, digestion of old food. Eighth, dispelling of wind humours. Ninth, quenching of hunger. Tenth, quenching of thirst). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.418](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.1.418) - [Next: 1.420](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.1.420) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127~en-mt.1.419) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [法苑珠林](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.42.15) — 道世, Classical Chinese - [佛祖統紀](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.33.24) — 志磐, Classical Chinese - [諸經要集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.5.67) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.1.419](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.1.419) · Pramāṇa
