Even if the trichiliocosm were filled with ferocious beasts wishing to eat the flesh of a bodhisattva, such a thing could not be. Formerly, when I encouraged you as to who could advance first, both you and Mañjuśrī said you could not face it. At that time, using my supernatural power, I revealed the taste of nectar to that hungry beast; keeping my mind resolute, I was able to attain supreme, correct, and complete enlightenment. You spoke of expediently stepping back and staying behind; all of this was teaching and transforming those with consciousness, not teaching and transforming those without consciousness." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.2.40) - [Next: 2.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.2.42) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384~en-mt.2.41) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.2.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.2.41) · Pramāṇa
