He asks why the room is empty and also without attendants; the lack of attendants will be answered separately later. \[Dao\]sheng says: Having completed the inquiry into the illness, he next inquires into the intent behind the empty room. Where a person dwells, there should naturally be requisites for living. Yet now it is wide open and bare—what is the reason? Moreover, anyone who is ill in principle requires attendants. Yet their whereabouts are unknown; where else could they be? He asks about both matters together because attendants belong to the category of emptiness yet are distinct. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.67) - [Next: 5.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.69) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.5.68) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.68) · Pramāṇa
