The dogs of Jie and Zhou are enough to bark at Yao (the Rules of Posthumous Titles: one who assists goodness and is broadly sagacious is called Yao; also, one who practices virtue and righteousness well is called Yao. 'Alas!' is an exclamation of lamentation. Jie and Zhou were benighted rulers, while Shun and Yao were sage kings. Though the dogs of Jie and Zhou recognized their masters, they did not know their masters' benightedness. Even though Yao and Shun were wise, the dogs did not know their sagacity and wisdom, and so barked at them. The Buddha is compared to Yao, and slanderers are compared to the dogs). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.4.53) - [Next: 4.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.4.55) - [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.4.54) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.4.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.4.54) · Pramāṇa
