Within this there are three parts: first, three verses on happening upon the father's house; next, two and a half verses on the marks of the father that he saw; and last, three and a half verses on having seen him, taking fright, and fleeing. The first part has two: first, one and a half verses on roaming and seeking; and second, one and a half verses on arriving in distress. This is the first. Suo is pronounced with the fanqie suo-ji or su-ge; it means begging, and also seeking. The meaning of ‘countries and towns’ has already been explained in the prose. ‘Obtaining something’ means encountering a true and genuine kalyāṇamitra within the Buddhadharma. ‘Obtaining nothing’ means a false or deceptive acquaintance. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.7.18) - [Next: 7.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.7.20) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.7.19) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.7.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.7.19) · Pramāṇa
