The sentient beings of the lands in other directions are not transformed by Śākyamuni, and therefore they do not have the three signs; but wishing to use the other to illuminate this, he emits light to illuminate them, and hence there is only the sign of light. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.165](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.2.165) - [Next: 2.167](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.2.167) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721~en-mt.2.166) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.2.166](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.2.166) · Pramāṇa
