Furthermore, it is like a dog barking loudly, resembling the blowing of a conch shell, yet possessing the conduct of a dog; breaking the precepts is also like this—this is a metaphor for it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.13) - [Next: 8.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.15) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829~en-mt.8.14) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.14) · Pramāṇa
