Thus the Laṅkāvatāra says: 'What is spoken not according to what is appropriate is non-speech to them. For various sick persons, a skilled physician prescribes medicine; the Tathāgata, for sentient beings, speaks in accordance with their minds and measures.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.404](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2.404) - [Next: 2.406](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2.406) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795~en-mt.2.405) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2.405](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2.405) · Pramāṇa
