'Cries' refers to mournful crying when approaching death. Humans and animals share life but belong to different categories; therefore one treats them with propriety, and one's unbearing mind cannot bear to witness or hear their deaths). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.146](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.146) - [Next: 2.148](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.148) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118~en-mt.2.147) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.147](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.147) · Pramāṇa
