Their admonitions are clear and comprehensive in every detail. Yet faithful words are not pleasing; the text is bound by expansive phrasing, piled in darkness and cut off in obscurity, separated by surges of layered depths. Therefore, scholars have not found its gate, or have not paid it heed. I venture to gather the distant tones of the Xianchi and adapt them into the near melodies of the village lanes, using the small to reach the great, hoping it may engage the worldly; helping Heaven spread its light, it is titled the 'Sun Candle'. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 13.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.13.29) - [Next: 13.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.13.31) - [Up: 13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.13) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102~en-mt.13.30) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.13.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.13.30) · Pramāṇa
