The Master said: "Wuzu was an old hand with old shoulders; Jingci's chicken-skin drum needs no heavy beat. Some fellows might say: 'Xutang is old and his heart is lonely.' Little do they know: the rich begrudge a thousand mouths as too few; the poor resent having even a single body." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.73](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.73) - [Next: 8.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.75) - [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.8.74) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.74](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.74) · Pramāṇa
