When thunder claps in midair, covering the ears can hardly succeed. Above the crown of the head, wave the red banner; behind the ears, wheel the pair of swords. If one's eyes are not discerning and one's hands not adept, how can one take hold? There is a sort who lower their heads and hesitate in thought, calculating within the faculty of mind, utterly unaware of the countless ghosts seen before their skulls. Tell me: not falling into the faculty of mind, not clinging to gain and loss, if there should suddenly be such a presentation, how would you respond? Try to bring it up and see. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.4.29) - [Next: 4.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.4.31) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003~en-mt.4.30) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.4.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.4.30) · Pramāṇa
