What is spoken therein is neither sūtra nor vinaya, and cannot determine the true principle. It is also said: 'This was perhaps Kātyāyana, who in order to deliver Koṭīkarṇa manifested these transformations to awaken his mind; it was not an actual fact.' If having received the observance one wishes to renounce it, it is not necessary to renounce it before \[a member of\] the five assemblies. When one wishes to eat, merely speaking to a single person, the observance is immediately renounced." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.112](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.6.112) - [Next: 6.114](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.6.114) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156~en-mt.6.113) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [ཐབས་མཁས་པ་ཆེན་པོ་སངས་རྒྱས་དྲིན་ལན་བསབ་པའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.tibet.kangyur.mdo_sde.353.6.35) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.6.113](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.6.113) · Pramāṇa
