He left home in his youth; his resolve and practice were pure and firm, he was outwardly gentle and inwardly luminous, and he possessed perceptive discernment. He recited and studied various scriptures and dabbled in non-Buddhist texts, being particularly knowledgeable in the glosses and exegeses of the \*Cang Jie pian\* and the \*Erya\*. In his youth he liked to travel abroad, fully observing local customs. His family had resided in Xihe for generations, so he was thoroughly versed in regional vernaculars; he understood the sounds and meanings of both Chinese and barbarians alike. Therefore, although his reputation for doctrinal study was lacking, his renown for broad learning was very celebrated. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.1.56) - [Next: 1.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.1.58) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059~en-mt.1.57) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.1.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.1.57) · Pramāṇa
