Explanation: Śāriputra's previous thought of food originally arose from his own mind's need for food. Having his own desire, he supposed that others also needed it, and therefore thought: "Where shall these bodhisattvas eat?" Vimalakīrti now deeply discerns its root, and therefore rebukes him accordingly. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.4.25) - [Next: 4.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.4.27) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776~en-mt.4.26) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.4.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.4.26) · Pramāṇa
