His sons are behind, not yet free from the disaster of the fire. The elder at that time certainly knows the harm of the fire, but for the sake of his sons, he turns back to rescue them without regard for the danger. The buddhas and bodhisattvas are also like this: although they know that saṃsāra has many faults and perils, for the sake of sentient beings they dwell in it without revulsion; therefore it is called inconceivable.' / Hence, it is again manifested that he escapes together with the sons, but in reality the Buddha escaped before. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.191](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.191) - [Next: 5.193](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.193) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.5.192) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.192](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.192) · Pramāṇa
