Answer: When their capacities were maturing and conditions required it, he temporarily let them see the pure; when conditions did not require it and \[their capacities\] had not yet matured, he gathered back the impure realm. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.1.7) - [Next: 1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.1.9) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782~en-mt.1.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.1.8) · Pramāṇa
