As for 'transformation' (bianhua), it is an alternative name for 'alteration' (bianyi). Therefore the \*Prakaraṇāryavācā\* and the \*Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi\*, relying on this, refer to alteration-saṃsāra as 'transformation-birth.' This explains that a bodhisattva on the stages (bhūmis), through the power of vows, takes alteration-birth in pure lands and does not take a portion-and-section body of the three realms; hence it is called the 'expedient means of transformation.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.240](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.240) - [Next: 3.242](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.242) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708~en-mt.3.241) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.241](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.241) · Pramāṇa
