Depending on whether their capacities and talents were high or low, he instructed them differently regarding their shortcomings; hence he conferred the Way according to their capacities). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.216](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.216) - [Next: 2.218](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.218) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118~en-mt.2.217) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.217](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.217) · Pramāṇa
