This metaphor corresponds to the five flavors of the shared teaching. Because pratyekabuddhas overcome residual habits slightly better than śrāvakas, they share clarified butter with the bodhisattvas. The Buddha, having exhausted both primary defilements and residual habits, is called ghee. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.46) - [Next: 1.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.48) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930~en-mt.1.47) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [妙法蓮華經玄義](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.5.82) — Classical Chinese - [摩訶止觀](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.213) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.47) · Pramāṇa
