The Buddha's disciples are all endowed with manifold practices, yet their perfect capabilities are concealed and each is designated by a single virtue, because of the desire to attract those with specific inclinations. The Ekottarika-āgama says: 'The monk Kauṇḍinya always associated with elders of renown and great men of virtue; Śāriputra associated with those of deep and sharp wisdom; Maudgalyāyana associated with those of great spiritual powers.' Each having charge of one teaching reflects the intention to attract those with specific inclinations. If one wishes to analyze the names, one must recognize their practices; when designations are established based on virtues, there is nowhere it does not apply. Each arhat will be treated with the four explanations (and so forth). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.100](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.1.100) - [Next: 1.102](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.1.102) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718~en-mt.1.101) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.1.101](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.1.101) · Pramāṇa
