This text is divided into four parts: first, revealing the name of the flowers; second, discerning their shape and size; third, explaining their colors; fourth, clarifying their fragrance and purity. These are the first two passages. 'Lotus' is the fruit of the water lily; a beautiful blossom is called a 'flower'; being large and round, their shape is like a carriage wheel. The Guan jing and Pingdeng jue jing say: the large ones are twenty li up to six million li. However, their size is not fixed; here it is spoken in terms of the smaller ones. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758.2.34) - [Next: 2.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758.2.36) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758~en-mt.2.35) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758.2.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758.2.35) · Pramāṇa
