Assembly, if you still sit here, you are all fellows dying of thirst. Tell me, how will you seek a way of life? Qingliang has an expedient." He struck the staff once: "A clap of thunder, a torrential downpour! Laughingly watching the black vine climb backward up the tree." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a.1.30) - [Next: 1.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a.1.32) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a~en-mt.1.31) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a.1.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a.1.31) · Pramāṇa
