The pulao fears the whale; whenever the whale leaps, the pulao lets out a great roar. Therefore the shape of a pulao is cast on bells, and the wood used to strike the bell is shaped like a whale. Thus the questioner is like the whale, and the respondent is like the responding sound of the pulao). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.4.52) - [Next: 4.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.4.54) - [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.4.53) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.4.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.4.53) · Pramāṇa
