(1) > The spiritual consciousness has no master, provisionally riding upon the four serpents; > Nourished by ignorance, it takes them as a chariot of pleasure; > The spirit has no permanent master, the form has no permanent home; > If form and spirit still part, how could there be a kingdom? (2) > Being originally comes from non-being, compounded by causes and conditions; > The flourishing must decay, the full must become empty; > Sentient beings, wriggling and stirring, all dwell as in an illusion; > All three realms are like this; kingdoms are also so. (3) > Birth, old age, sickness, and death rotate without limit; > Matters go against one’s wishes; sorrow and grief cause harm; > Desires are deep and disasters heavy; sores and warts are ubiquitous; > All three realms are like this—what reliance is there in a kingdom? (4)’” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1912.7.18) - [Next: 7.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1912.7.20) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1912.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1912~en-mt.7.19) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1912.7.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1912.7.19) · Pramāṇa
