The ancients spoke thus; it is like peeping at a leopard through a tube, seeing only a single spot. Even if one enters the forest without stirring the grass, or enters the water without stirring the waves, it is still like riding a horse across the icy ridges. If you are an eagle-shooting archer, why not scrape the itch on the snake's head? Let those with true eyes test their discernment and see!' After a good while he said: 'The mandarin ducks are embroidered, born of the golden needle.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 22.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.22.17) - [Next: 22.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.22.19) - [Up: 22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.22) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077~en-mt.22.18) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.22.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.22.18) · Pramāṇa
