Whoever wishes to clarify his own way beats a drum to gather the multitude and approaches the hall to challenge debate; the victor becomes the master, and the defeated becomes the disciple. Pure Name mounted this hall to subdue the non-Buddhists, and only then guided them with the Mahāyāna, becoming their master. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.72) - [Next: 2.74](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.74) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.2.73) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [維摩經略疏垂裕記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.4.100) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.73](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.73) · Pramāṇa
