You must not, for the sake of profit or with an evil mind, act as a state envoy to bring military forces together, raising armies to attack one another and killing countless sentient beings. A bodhisattva must not even come and go within an army, so how could they deliberately act as a traitor to the state? If one deliberately does so, one commits a duṣkṛta offense." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1814.2.37) - [Next: 2.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1814.2.39) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1814.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1814~en-mt.2.38) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [梵網經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.other.brahmajalasutra*zh-kumarajiva.2.33) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1814.2.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1814.2.38) · Pramāṇa
