Prostrate, I consider that the correct words are deep and profound, gathering together the multitude of sūtras, balancing the handle of the Dipper to ordain the four seasons, and equalling the sun to illuminate the myriad realms. Your servant did not measure his shallow mediocrity and lightly dared to proclaim them; unable to fathom the celestial patterns, I merely gazed at the jade storehouse. Shame and fear alternate within me; sleeping and rising, I find no rest. Looking up, I see the imperial messenger descending; looking down, I receive the honor of your glorious presence. Honored by such extraordinary benevolence, I know not where to turn. Unable to bear my humble feelings, I respectfully submit this memorial of gratitude. Respectfully reported. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 21.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.45) - [Next: 21.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.47) - [Up: 21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103~en-mt.21.46) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.46) · Pramāṇa
