If the assembly is delayed, I fear there will be no benefit. Having detained you worthies for so long, how shall I repay you? An ancient said: 'Even crushing one's bones and shattering one's body is not enough to repay it; a single phrase clearly understood transcends billions.' Can you live up to this? Having stood long, take care of yourselves." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.120](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.120) - [Next: 1.122](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.122) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992~en-mt.1.121) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.121](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.121) · Pramāṇa
