Since the Old Barbarian was shut off, patch-robed monks have mostly turned away from it. Let it go on endlessly through thousands and tens of thousands of kalpas; filling trenches and choking ravines, no one understands.” He struck the ground once with his staff and said, “Return to the hall.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.72) - [Next: 2.74](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.74) - [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.2.73) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.73](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.73) · Pramāṇa
