The good beat their breasts and weep; the mara armies stamp their feet and rejoice. Loving him, they wish him to live; hating him, they wish him to die—how could this be limited to two thousand years ago? In the countryside the spring breeze brings blossoms into full glory; on the branch the yellow oriole speaks distinctly." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.42) - [Next: 8.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.44) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000~en-mt.8.43) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.43) · Pramāṇa
