Not letting Songyuan save on counting coins, accustomed to using the patch-robed monks' formula for locking mouths. Dying together, not living together, specially making ruts and tracks; re-arrayed amid the shadows of the autumn wind. Ties severed, feelings forgotten for forty years—when can one wait for the water turtle to become a soft-shelled turtle?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.18) - [Next: 9.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.20) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000~en-mt.9.19) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.19) · Pramāṇa
