When the two vehicles hear of this real and conventional, they fail to understand either, and are thus like mutes and the deaf. The Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra says: 'When Maitreya and I discussed the conventional truth, the five hundred śrāvakas thought we were speaking of the ultimate truth.' This is precisely the meaning. With respect to this, there are also \[the meanings of\] according with sentiment, according with sentiment-and-wisdom, \[according with wisdom,\] and so on. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.158](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.2.158) - [Next: 2.160](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.2.160) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.2.159) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.2.159](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.2.159) · Pramāṇa
