The peripheral and the correct diverge in their paths; victory and defeat are preserved in the historical annals. The rulers of the Rong and Di are not permitted to usurp the title of King; the lords of Chu and Yue thus voluntarily demoted themselves to Viscounts. How could a petty peddler \[like the Buddha\] match the Great Master of our Heavenly King? This is the fourth difference between the Florescent and barbarian. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2110.6.60) - [Next: 6.62](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2110.6.62) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2110.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2110~en-mt.6.61) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [廣弘明集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.13.93) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2110.6.61](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2110.6.61) · Pramāṇa
