What arises suddenly must perish suddenly; what arises gradually must perish gradually. Those that arise suddenly are gusts and torrential downpours; those that arise gradually are animals and plants. Having the sudden and having the gradual is the principle of things. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.9.36) - [Next: 9.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.9.38) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102~en-mt.9.37) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.9.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.9.37) · Pramāṇa
