Persons of the two vehicles are only one step superior to ordinary persons; they should not be placed on par with bodhisattvas. Furthermore, it is objected: If severing afflictions necessarily means knowing the common convergence into the eternal, then non-Buddhists who sever them should also be like this. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.6.15) - [Next: 6.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.6.17) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720~en-mt.6.16) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.6.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.6.16) · Pramāṇa
