Already mistaken.) / Patch-robed monks are still obstructed by the double barrier. (Sit this man down and cut him off; how can he be rescued? A hundred turns, a thousand layers; yet it has a head and a base.) > Pitiable is the single phrase, 'It goes along with it'— (Patch-robed monks under heaven make this kind of calculation. A thousand phrases, ten thousand phrases are not needed. What difficulty is there in cutting off his heels?) / In vain across ten thousand leagues he journeys back and forth alone."

Naturally, he has worn out his straw sandals.) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.3.41) - [Next: 3.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.3.43) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003~en-mt.3.42) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.3.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.3.42) · Pramāṇa
