Therefore, a bodhisattva should not give rise to bondage. What is called bondage? What is called liberation?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.250](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.250) - [Next: 5.252](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.252) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.5.251) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.251](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.251) · Pramāṇa
