Responding skillfully without fixed direction: east, west, south, north. In the midst of the game, life and death—just as the path is lost, the axe handle rots away and one cannot return. If you are such a person: when it is time to go, then go; when it is time to stop, then stop. Going is just going like this, going nowhere to go; coming is just coming like this, coming nowhere to come. Do you understand? Raising high the black and white \[stones\], moves made beforehand, / Winning completely the mechanism of intersecting lines in all directions." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.130](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.130) - [Next: 4.132](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.132) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001~en-mt.4.131) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.131](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.131) · Pramāṇa
