When it stood erect of its own accord upon the seat, and one watched for the corners of its mouth to bare fangs and its eyes to blink, then the rain would arrive. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.1.54) - [Next: 1.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.1.56) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061~en-mt.1.55) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.1.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.1.55) · Pramāṇa
