Those handling poles handle poles; those working oars work oars. Confronting waves and braving the wind, heaven and earth are broad; coming and going, there is no obstruction between east and west shores. Why so?" Striking with his whisk, he said: "The companions are the right people." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.78) - [Next: 8.80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.80) - [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.8.79) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.79) · Pramāṇa
