In the Vimalakīrti-sūtra, Śāriputra asks the devī: "Among the three vehicles, which do you aspire to and seek?" The devī says: "Because I transform sentient beings with the Dharma of the śrāvakas, I am a śrāvaka. Because I transform sentient beings with the Dharma of the pratyekabuddhas, I am a pratyekabuddha. Because I transform sentient beings with great compassion, I belong to the Great Vehicle." Since Avalokiteśvara and the devī both belong to the stage of partial realization of reality, this can be cited as proof. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.71](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.1.71) - [Next: 1.73](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.1.73) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801~en-mt.1.72) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.1.72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.1.72) · Pramāṇa
