This is merely relying on others' earlier attainment to achieve later progress; how could one say that the teaching for those of earlier attainment was an upāya exposition? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4.37) - [Next: 4.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4.39) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721~en-mt.4.38) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4.38) · Pramāṇa
