If empty space inevitably had a salty flavor, then as it salted your tongue, it would also salt your face, and the people of this world would be identical to ocean fish. Constantly experiencing saltiness, they would have no inkling of blandness; if they did not recognize blandness, they would not perceive saltiness either. If they inevitably know nothing, how could it be called flavor?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.130](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.3.130) - [Next: 3.132](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.3.132) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799~en-mt.3.131) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.3.131](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.3.131) · Pramāṇa
