Suddenly a fellow comes out and says, 'Lower your voice, lower your voice! The new karmadāna's orders are strict; do not speak of people's merits and demerits.' This mountain monk could only desist. Why? Where Yu's power did not reach, the sound of the River flows westward." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.85](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.85) - [Next: 1.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.87) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000~en-mt.1.86) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.86](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.86) · Pramāṇa
