【富樓沙曇藐娑羅提】秦云可化丈夫調御師。《大論》云:「佛以大慈大智故,有時軟美語,有時苦切語,有時雜語,令不失道。若言佛為女人調御師,為不尊重;若說丈夫,一切都攝。」

*Puruṣadamyasārathi*: the Qin called it 'Tamer and Guide of Transformable Heroes' (可化丈夫調御師). The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa says: 'Because the Buddha has great compassion and great wisdom, he sometimes uses soft and gentle words, sometimes bitter and sharp words, and sometimes mixed words, so that beings do not stray from the Path. If one were to say the Buddha is a tamer of women, it would not be respectful; if one says heroes, all beings are subsumed.'
