Magu came forward and asked: 'Missing it I do not ask about; what is this matter?' Sanjiao said: 'Missed.' Magu overturned the meditation bench; Sanjiao struck him right across the back with his staff." The Master said: "Displaying killing and reviving on the blade's edge, distinguishing black and white in the flash of lightning, undeniably the eye was capable and the hand deft, bringing the tips of their arrows to clash. Xuedou said: 'The two old fellows have not even blinked an eyebrow—why talk about this matter being missed?'" The Master said: "Accustomed to fletching golden arrowheads, long experienced on the battlefield, bringing down two condors with one arrow, he boasts of his deft hand before others. Even so, it is much like leading someone by the hand up a high mountain—inevitably mocked by onlookers. Judging by Chongning's view, to call it 'this matter' is already carving a wound in healthy flesh. How much more so to further discuss blinking an eyebrow and having already missed it! Magu and Xuedou drew their bows after the thief had gone, but indeed there was still another." He abruptly seized his staff and stepped down from the seat. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 16.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.16.37) - [Next: 16.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.16.39) - [Up: 16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.16) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997~en-mt.16.38) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.16.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.16.38) · Pramāṇa
