Seeing the gathering of mahāsattvas and hearing the Dharma spoken, she manifested her body and scattered flowers, wishing to instigate debate. \[Dao\]sheng says: The goddess appearing and scattering flowers showed a humble status yet esteemed the Dharma, thereby reinforcing the attitude of venerating the Dharma. Secretly wishing to express the principle through an event, she clarified that she had no fear of saṃsāra, and thus, though entering it, remained undefiled. If one fears and avoids it, one will only become more attached. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.195](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.195) - [Next: 6.197](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.197) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.6.196) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.196](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.196) · Pramāṇa
