Just as a dead corpse may be adorned with gold necklaces, so too is one of wide learning who breaks the precepts, wears the Dharma robes, and receives offerings from others.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 30.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.30.18) - [Next: 30.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.30.20) - [Up: 30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.30) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.30.19) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.30.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.30.19) · Pramāṇa
