Hearing that kalpas are long, minds would backslide; therefore, they manifest transcending the grounds, stating that there is swift attainment. "Or they say, 'I, in \[…\]'": this clarifies the virtue of extension. Hearing that kalpas are few, they would not be diligent; therefore, they speak of a long duration to arouse their vigour. "Able to manifest such \[…\]": this concludes the multitude of virtues. Their wondrous activities are inexhaustible, beyond the path of mind and speech, and all are for the sake of benefiting sentient beings. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5.34) - [Next: 5.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5.36) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814~en-mt.5.35) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5.35) · Pramāṇa
