Assemblies gathered in other sūtras were very large; why is it so small in this sūtra? It is either stating their broad number, or is like a king discussing confidential matters, which cannot be deliberated upon with the entire country (and so forth). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.2.68) - [Next: 2.70](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.2.70) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718~en-mt.2.69) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.2.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.2.69) · Pramāṇa
