Such a one is an evil acquaintance of sentient beings.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.2.8) - [Next: 2.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.2.10) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123~en-mt.2.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.2.9) · Pramāṇa
