Was that really true?" The master said: "It makes one long remember General Li." The monk said: "Afterwards, he spoke an entire canon of entangling vines, pulling branches and trailing creepers, discharging urine and dumping feces, which has not ceased to this day." The master said: "Worms within the lion's body." The monk threw down his sitting mat and said: "Before he saw the morning star, was there this news or not?" The master said: "Holding the hair knot and handing oneself over to the magistrate's office." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.85](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.85) - [Next: 2.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.87) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000~en-mt.2.86) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.86](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.86) · Pramāṇa
