Merit is not like this, because merit is inferior. A verse spoken in the \*Kāśyapa-parivarta\* says: 'If worlds as numerous as the Ganges sands were filled with precious jewels / And these were given to all the Tathāgatas, / It would not equal a single dharma. / Though jewels are measureless, they do not equal the giving of a single dharma. / The merit of one gāthā is still superior; / How much more so is the abundance that is difficult to conceive!' Since it encompasses superior merit, the merit generated by upholding four lines surpasses the merit of giving. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2735.2.4) - [Next: 2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2735.2.6) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2735.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2735~en-mt.2.5) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [金剛般若論會釋](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1816.2.13) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2735.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2735.2.5) · Pramāṇa
