The worthy cannot be ruined, and calamity is sure to destroy oneself.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1794.1.78) - [Next: 1.80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1794.1.80) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1794.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1794~en-mt.1.79) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [四十二章經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.11) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1794.1.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1794.1.79) · Pramāṇa
