Long, who had always delighted in the signless, perused it as soon as he obtained it; after some ten-odd days, he proceeded to deliver lectures on it. Later, his end was not known. Sun Chuo composed a eulogy for him, saying: / A small square is easy to draft, / But a great vessel is hard to depict. / Martial and vast was Xiaolong, / Able to surpass in height and breadth. / Living beings vied to turn to him, / People thought to emulate and look up to him. / Cloud-filled springs spread wide, / The fragrance of thoroughwort resounds afar. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.4.7) - [Next: 4.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.4.9) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059~en-mt.4.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.4.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.4.8) · Pramāṇa
