Now, the triyāna is upāya and is not called foremost, while the ekayāna is foremost and is not called upāya. Now saying "foremost upāya," one knows that it is the skillful wisdom of the Buddhas that is called foremost upāya; because he possesses this skillful wisdom, he is able to speak of the one and the three. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3.30) - [Next: 3.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3.32) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721~en-mt.3.31) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3.31) · Pramāṇa
