Furthermore, the Satyavaca-nirgrantha-sūtra says: If one slanders the teachings of the śrāvakas, pratyekabuddhas, and the Mahāyāna, and vilifies or obstructs them, one commits a root offense. (Now, that monks follow the Mahāyāna and Hīnayāna sūtras in not bowing to rulers and parents is the original teaching of the Buddha. Now commanding them to bow directly violates the Buddha's teaching; making them kneel and bow to laypersons means not believing the Buddha's words, and therefore constitutes a root offense.) Furthermore, the Nyāyānusāra says: The assembly of heavenly gods does not dare to hope for homage from those who have received the five precepts. Just like the sovereign of a realm, they also do not seek homage from bhikṣus, out of fear of diminishing their merit and lifespan.
