A person across the mountain sings the partridge song; mistaken for the eighteen beats of the barbarian reed pipe." He then raised his fly-whisk and said, "This is merely a yak-tail fly-whisk; do not treat it as right or wrong, backward or forward, for deliberation. How will you recognize it? How will you fathom it?" After a pause he said, "No one bids a price—give them three hundred blows." He struck the meditation couch once. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.7.14) - [Next: 7.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.7.16) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a~en-mt.7.15) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.7.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.7.15) · Pramāṇa
