17. There are yet others who are incalculable; it would be impossible to count them even in hundreds of kotis of ^Eons.

18. Many more yet there are, with endless trains; they have in their attendance kotis, and kotis and again kotis, and also half kotis.

19. Other great Seers again, beyond computation, very wise Bodhisattvas are seen in a respectful posture.
