Consistently so: dirt on the head and mud on the face, carrying water and dragging through mud. Not so within being so: accommodating the low to level the high. Being so within not so: letting go from the void. Or there is someone who pays no attention to either being so or not so: neither bright nor dark, neither releasing nor gathering. Tell me, how is it? Ultimately, under the frosty night moon, / It falls into the front ravine at its own accord." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.2.41) - [Next: 2.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.2.43) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997~en-mt.2.42) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.2.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.2.42) · Pramāṇa
