I constantly tell you: the guest is the guest from beginning to end; the host is the host from beginning to end. The guest has no second guest; the host has no second host. If there are two guests or two hosts, the two of them become blind fellows. Therefore, if I stand you must sit; if I sit you must stand. When sitting, I sit together with you; when standing, I stand together with you. Although it is like this, you must urgently fix your eyes \[upon it\] before you get it." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.5.76) - [Next: 5.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.5.78) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000~en-mt.5.77) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.5.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.5.77) · Pramāṇa
