Śāriputra said: "No. An illusion has no fixed characteristics; what should be transformed?" The goddess said: "All phenomena are also like this, without fixed characteristics. Why then do you ask why I do not transform my female body?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.290](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.290) - [Next: 6.292](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.292) - [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.6.291) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [淨名經集解關中疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.144) — Classical Chinese - [維摩詰所說經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.vimalakirtinirdesa*zh-kumarajiva.2.109) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.291](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.291) · Pramāṇa
