Penetrating the bramble forest, a patch-robed monk's household is like a flake of snow on a red-hot furnace. Boring seven piercings and eight holes on level ground may be set aside for now; not falling into entangling conditions, what then? Try to bring it up and see. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.7.38) - [Next: 7.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.7.40) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003~en-mt.7.39) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.7.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.7.39) · Pramāṇa
