### [1.90](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1987a.1.90)

三更初夜月明前　揀云：「黑白未交時辨取。」又云：「萠芽未生之時。」又別揀云：「只今是甚麼時？」又云：「此中無日月，不說前後去也。」

> At the third watch, in the early night, before the moon is bright.  
> Appraisal says: "Distinguish it when black and white have not yet crossed." Also: "When sprouts have not yet emerged." Another appraisal says: "Right now, what time is it?" Also: "Herein there are no sun and moon; one does not speak of before and after."
