Grass and trees have growth but lack consciousness; that which has growth should not be killed, and by this he accorded with the mundane, not that he accorded with their having consciousness. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1820.1.48) - [Next: 1.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1820.1.50) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1820.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1820~en-mt.1.49) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1820.1.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1820.1.49) · Pramāṇa
