All day long like mud pigs and mangy dogs, babbling nonsense, not remembering whether months are long or short or the leap months of the years. Who knows whether he is ordinary or sacred? If Xiangfu lets it pass, thirty years later he will suffer people's scrutiny; if he does not let it pass, how can he utter a turning-around phrase?" Giving a shout, he said: "A person of superior capacity roams the mountains and waters; an average person sits in the bamboo grove." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.50) - [Next: 1.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.52) - [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.1.51) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.51) · Pramāṇa
