Alternatively, it is pronounced with the fanqie rong-wei \[wèi\], meaning to assist or because of. People of the south mostly use the level tone, setting forth the harmful events; people here mostly use the falling tone, meaning that although there was previously the harm of fire, he used that as an occasion to assist in expounding. / 'Terrifying matters' refers to the swarming of insects and ghosts, the house already burning, and so forth. / Regarding secretly expounding the Mahāyāna: he thought of testing them to escape quickly; although he knew that such beings could not faithfully practice the principle and conduct of the Mahāyāna as the present cause of realization, he therefore contemplated secretly expounding it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.199](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.199) - [Next: 5.201](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.201) - [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.5.200) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.200](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.200) · Pramāṇa
