This is the first passage. The Buddha instituted meal times, forbidding eating at improper times; since mealtime had arrived, he therefore pondered. Mahā means great, sattva means sentient being; to distinguish them from the earlier lesser status, they are called great sentient beings. The older translation only said 'where should the bodhisattvas eat?', but here śrāvakas are also included. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.6.4) - [Next: 6.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.6.6) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782~en-mt.6.5) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.6.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.6.5) · Pramāṇa
