22.14

Youponishatuo fen 優波尼沙陀分 [upaniṣad portion] (Correctly it is wubonishatan [upaniṣad]. *Upa* means near; *niṣad* means slight or minute; it refers to a slightly close, comparable portion. Or it is said: *upa* translates as near, *niṣadha* means following, referring to a closely comparable fraction. Or it is said to mean the ultimate, referring to the ultimate limit among numbers. The meaning of the sūtra here is that boundless roots of good, whether numerous or few, have no comparison whatsoever; even if they were minute, they are likewise boundless).
