5.90

Answer: When a pratyekabuddha appears in an era without a buddha, this is when the true Dharma has already ended and there is not even the semblance Dharma; at this time the faculties of sentient beings are dull, and therefore they cannot attain the heating stage—it is not that the pratyekabuddha is incapable of causing them to attain the Path. The pratyekabuddha who converts must be sharp, while those converted must be dull; for the śrāvaka, both the converter and the converted are versatile.
