The edict on yellow paper first unlocked the treasury of coins; the auspicious vapor of blue clouds then gathered at the cassia palace. The currency is as precious as patterned tortoises; the fragrance surpasses splendid grasses. Scattering gold under the eaves reaches only military officers; accumulating grain to fill the home is merely distributed among relatives. They cannot compare to supporting this fertile field of merit to dispel the five hindrances, or entering these Dharma regulations to transcend forever the four floods. Borrowing words from Jingzu would still feel inadequate to describe it; borrowing the eloquence of Junqing would still fall short of an expression of thanks. Unable to bear my gratitude, I respectfully submit this memorial. Respectfully submitted. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 16.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.16.22) - [Next: 16.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.16.24) - [Up: 16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.16) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103~en-mt.16.23) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.16.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.16.23) · Pramāṇa
