English	If you assert that this body—that is, the entire body with all its parts—were to dwell in each of the hands and so on, there would be as many bodies in number as there are hands and so forth, such as the body that dwells in the hands and the body that dwells in the feet. Hence, there would be many bodies.[Moreover,] there would be the following consequences: The body that dwells in the hands [would entail] two bodies, one in the right and one in the left [hand].[p.720]The Center of the Sunlit Sky Brunnhölzl, Karl. The Center of the Sunlit Sky: Madhyamaka in the Kagyü Tradition. Including a translation of Pawo Rinpoche's commentary on the knowledge section of Śāntideva's The Entrance to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life (Bodhicaryāvatāra). Nitartha Institute Series. Ithaca, NY: Snow Lion Publications, 2004. Each of these [two bodies] in turn would have three [more] bodies that are related to its major joints, five bodies in the fingers, and fifteen bodies in the knuckles and so on, until finally there would be as many bodies as there are infinitesimal particles [in the body]. Thus, you are not able to assert [such a position] for the following reasons: If it were like this, [860] it would follow that each and every [body] part is the body. Therefore, your claim of an encompassing body that possesses its parts collapses. Furthermore, it is a most amazing feat indeed that a single individual should have a number of bodies [that equals the number] of infinitesimal particles [in the body].

Madhyamaka - Along with Yogācāra, it is one of the two major philosophical schools of Mahāyāna Buddhism. Founded by Nāgārjuna around the second century CE, it is rooted in the Prajñāpāramitā Sūtras, though its initial exposition was presented in Nāgārjuna's Mūlamadhyamakakārikā.

Kagyu - The Kagyu school traces its origin to the eleventh-century translator Marpa, who studied in India with Nāropa. Marpa's student Milarepa trained Gampopa, who founded the first monastery of the Kagyu order. As many as twelve subtraditions grew out from there, the best known being the Karma Kagyu, the Drikung, and the Drukpa. Tib བཀའ་བརྒྱུད་

Bodhisattva - A person who seeks enlightenment for the sake of others. In Mahāyāna Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a compassionate being who is training on the path to buddhahood and aspires to eliminate the suffering of all beings and take all sentient beings to the state of enlightenment. The Mahāyāna sūtras including those on buddha-nature generally have bodhisattvas as the main audience or interlocutors for the Buddha's discourses. Skt बोधिसत्त्व  Tib བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ།  Ch 菩薩
