They kept themselves in pure vacuity and maintained themselves in humble weakness. This was the ruler's art of facing south, harmonizing with Yao's ability to yield and the Qian hexagram's modesty in the Book of Changes. This is their strength." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.8.14) - [Next: 8.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.8.16) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103~en-mt.8.15) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.8.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.8.15) · Pramāṇa
