Why is this? Because it suits what they know. (The songs of Zheng and Wei are licentious sounds; they suit worldly customs. Why is it that, like the songs of Ba, many know how to harmonize? Because it accords with what they know.) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.4.13) - [Next: 4.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.4.15) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118~en-mt.4.14) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.4.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.4.14) · Pramāṇa
