From "Thus, Heavenly Emperor, you should know..." downward explains the conclusion. "Thus" means as explained above: to make offerings to this sūtra is to make offerings to the buddhas of the three periods of time; comparing material offerings, they are not equal to the Dharma offering; citing the past as verification is precisely thus. One should know this essential point: that the Dharma offering is the highest and the foremost. From "For this reason, Heavenly Emperor..." downward is the exhortation to make the Dharma offering. Because this Dharma offering is supreme, foremost, and peerless, he exhorts that one should make offerings to the Buddha with the Dharma offering. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.74](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2769.4.74) - [Next: 4.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2769.4.76) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2769.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2769~en-mt.4.75) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2769.4.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2769.4.75) · Pramāṇa
