Afterward, with two difficult questions, he cross-examined both teachings simultaneously. First he questioned the Daoists, saying: 'Gentlemen, you have expounded the Daoist lineage as exalted above the cosmos, and just now you explained the \*Daodejing\*, saying that the upper fascicle clarifies the Dao while the lower fascicle clarifies the De. We do not know: is there anything greater than this Dao, or is there nothing greater than the Dao?' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2104.3.10) - [Next: 3.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2104.3.12) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2104.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2104~en-mt.3.11) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2104.3.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2104.3.11) · Pramāṇa
