Truly like blades of swords resembling one another, yet what can be done about the disparity between fish and Lu? Arriving here, one must turn the mechanism beyond the kalpas, release the arrow before the wind, crosswise bear the burden with one's body, and throw open the hands to take responsibility. Only when endowed with such eyes will it do. Can you still discern it? It is easy to distinguish white powder in snow, but hard to discern charcoal in ink.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.3.37) - [Next: 3.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.3.39) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001~en-mt.3.38) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.3.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.3.38) · Pramāṇa
