Dragons have two virtues: first, raising clouds and sending down rain; second, concealing and revealing themselves at will. > Baoliang states: From here down to "having attained their own benefit", it distinguishes "worthy of offerings". > Daohui's Notes state: Dragon-kings are elephant-kings among humans, as the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra says: "like well-tamed elephant-kings". It serves as a metaphor for being well-tamed, explaining that the reason afflictions are shed is due to well-subduing the faculties. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.2.60) - [Next: 2.62](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.2.62) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763~en-mt.2.61) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.2.61](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.2.61) · Pramāṇa
