Therefore, great and small are both upāyas; not only are great and small both upāyas, but three and one are also both upāyas. However, now when contrasting great and small: because the Hīnayāna is incomplete, it is an upāya; because the Mahāyāna is already complete, it is called real. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4.41) - [Next: 4.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4.43) - [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.4.42) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4.42) · Pramāṇa
