Within this there are again two parts: first, a general deprivation, stating the fault that transformation would be useless. If there were fixed-nature śrāvakas, a bodhisattva might transform into a śrāvaka to entice them to turn their minds around; then transformation would be beneficial. Now, in your tradition, those of fixed nature definitely never turn their minds around; what purpose would be served by transforming into a fixed-nature one to accept the single vehicle? Thus, there being no capacity to be transformed, the transformer becomes entirely useless. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.8.20) - [Next: 8.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.8.22) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736~en-mt.8.21) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.8.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.8.21) · Pramāṇa
