The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa says: "In the śrāvaka sūtras, an arhat is termed the Buddha-ground." Therefore, the three persons are equally ghee. Does this analogy not explain the five flavors in the Tripiṭaka? The meaning of the gradual and perfect is established in accordance with this. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.211](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.211) - [Next: 3.213](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.213) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911~en-mt.3.212) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [妙法蓮華經玄義](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.5.78) — Classical Chinese - [維摩經玄疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.4.27) — Classical Chinese - [天台八教大意](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.46) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.212](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.212) · Pramāṇa
