This second part is declining. The text has four parts: 1. Offering the decline as not being competent; 2. Briefly stating the reason; 3. Broadly citing the incident of reprimand; 4. Concluding the decline as not being competent. This is the first. \[Dao\]sheng said: "Having reasons to decline is not refusing the command. By relying on words that do not refuse the command, he conveys the significance of Vimalakīrti's expedient means." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.311](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.311) - [Next: 1.313](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.313) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777~en-mt.1.312) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.312](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.312) · Pramāṇa
