As for the forms of their petitions, there are gross and refined varieties: the gross suppress men and kill ghosts; the refined refine the corpse and prolong life. Furthermore, there are Azure Registers: receiving them requires gold and silk. If kings and nobles receive them, their years are lengthened and their fortune augmented; if commoners receive them, they become light, robust, and rarely ill. Why do you not discuss these, but only disparage the base ones? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.71](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.8.71) - [Next: 8.73](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.8.73) - [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.8.72) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.8.72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.8.72) · Pramāṇa
