This is the wheel of empty space leaving no trace, and the sword's edge suffering no nick. Exactly at such a time, how is it?" He then looked to the left and right and said: "Filling the ditches and plugging the valleys, no one understands; after the rain over the night pond, the autumn water is deep." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.47) - [Next: 1.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.49) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999~en-mt.1.48) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.48) · Pramāṇa
