It is like when refining gold: using many expedients, one only then manages to produce an amount like a grain of barley, and immediately thinks to oneself, 'I have finished making gold.' From then on, even if one transforms a mountain of gold, it does not require much effort. This is also like that. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 17.453](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.17.453) - [Next: 17.455](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.17.455) - [Up: 17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.17) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828~en-mt.17.454) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.17.454](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.17.454) · Pramāṇa
