And now when \[the Buddha\] went there, he indeed sank into Avīci. How could this be a lack of compassion? It is precisely that by which his evil causes are extinguished. 'Truly without duality': because people heard the Buddha's words, they did not believe Sunakkhatta's words, and thus external evil was not increased, causing his suffering of retribution to be lessened. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 63.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.63.48) - [Next: 63.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.63.50) - [Up: 63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.63) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763~en-mt.63.49) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.63.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.63.49) · Pramāṇa
