Therefore, a cauldron of ten thousand bushels cannot be filled with a bowl of water. (Containing five dou is called a bushel \[hu\]. A cauldron \[ding\] has two ears and three legs. This means that for a cauldron holding ten thousand bushels, how could a single almsbowl of water ever fill it?) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.19) - [Next: 2.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.21) - [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.2.20) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.20) · Pramāṇa
