### [4.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2078.4.30)

評曰。謂衣不焚。不亦太神乎。曰寶劍出乎良冶。尚能變化不測。而光貫星斗。方士資乎世術。亦能入水不濡。入水不焚。況乎聖人之上衣。大法之勝器。此可然乎。能無曜乎。其言地動至乎雲日草木之祥瑞。遠以業理求之至哉。宜異世俗五行之說。

> An appraisal says: Some say that if the robe was not burned, would it not be excessively miraculous? I say: When a precious sword comes from a master smelter, it can still undergo unfathomable transformations, its light piercing the stars. When magicians draw on worldly arts, they can also enter water without getting wet, and enter fire without being burned. How much more so the upper robe of a sage and the superior vessel of the Great Dharma! Could this be burned? Could it fail to shine? As for its speaking of earthquakes and reaching to auspicious omens of clouds, the sun, grasses, and trees—when sought deeply through the principle of karma, it is utmost indeed! It should properly differ from the mundane theories of the Five Elements.
