A sūtra states: 'If I transform \[them\] using the Hīnayāna, I would fall into stinginess and greed; this matter cannot be.' This is what it refers to. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.84](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.5.84) - [Next: 5.86](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.5.86) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813~en-mt.5.85) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.5.85](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.5.85) · Pramāṇa
