Just tell me, who is one who understands how to strike it? Better not slander Yanguan. Take Nanquan saying, 'Old Teacher Wang does not strike this broken drum.' Fayan remarked, 'Old Teacher Wang does not strike two.' Since he can do nothing with one, he is all the more embarrassed." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.141](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.141) - [Next: 2.143](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.143) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996~en-mt.2.142) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.142](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.142) · Pramāṇa
