"Venerable Siṃha traveled to convert people in the kingdom of Kaśmīra. There was a teacher there named Varika who had a little wisdom and practiced Hīnayāna dhyāna. Later, five factions arose from him, each dwelling in a separate region. Venerable Siṃha questioned them each in turn. He asked the speechless faction: 'Explaining the Buddha's true teaching and expounding the pāramitās—who taught you not to speak and thereby suppress the Buddha?'" Replacing [the original words], he said: "Speaking is also not penetrating."
