Therefore, when he died he had not accumulated even ten pieces of gold; there were only the ink-writings of various worthies from the Tang and Song in barely two bamboo hampers. The monastics competed to bid for them, obtaining more than eighty strings of cash to assist with the cremation ceremony” (Ke'an ji). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.3.41) - [Next: 3.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.3.43) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022~en-mt.3.42) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.3.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.3.42) · Pramāṇa
