The first text also has two: first directly citing the 'Skillful Means' chapter; next, from 'Not only' down, explaining that past Buddhas were likewise so, pointing to and citing the text of the 'Introductory Chapter.' Next, the Nirvāṇa text has two: first citing the Dharma and the metaphor; next, from 'Gradual capacities' down, explaining the names of the flavors. The reason it says 'not taking thickness or thinness' is merely that for the small capacities, the Avataṃsaka is like milk, not curds, and is thicker than the Avataṃsaka. Third, the conclusion and indication is as in the text. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 20.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1717.20.15) - [Next: 20.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1717.20.17) - [Up: 20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1717.20) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1717~en-mt.20.16) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1717.20.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1717.20.16) · Pramāṇa
