The commentary says: The fruit is accomplished from the cause; next it explains the Buddha jewel. "Immeasurable merits": this is the virtue that is the object of faith. The powers, fearlessnesses, unshared dharmas, and so forth are the merits of the Buddhas. From "constantly mindful…" downward, one then generates aspiration and seeking. Relying on faith in the existence of these virtues, one generates two aspirations and seekings: "constantly mindful…" and so on is aspiring and seeking in relation to the other; "generating…" and so on is aspiring and seeking to attain it oneself. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5.52) - [Next: 5.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5.54) - [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.5.53) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5.53) · Pramāṇa
