c8.s4.8

While in this bhūmi he can see many Buddhas, worship them and transfer the merit thus acquired to the attainment of Bodhi. He receives the kuśalakarmapathas from these Buddhas and fulfils them in many kalpas. He gets rid of mātsarya (covetousness) and carries out fully the precept of liberality. Of the four saṃgrahavastus, he increases priyavadya (affability) in a great measure, and of the ten pāramitās he improves the śilapāramitā in a great degree but not so the other pāramitās.
