The Soushen ji states: "The solitary mud-dauber wasp is called \*guoluo\*. Nowadays, people call it \*yeweng\*; it belongs to the thin-waisted kind. As a creature, it is male without female, neither mating nor giving birth. It constantly takes the young of mulberry silkworms and nurtures them, whereupon they all transform into its own offspring." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 32.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.32.50) - [Next: 32.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.32.52) - [Up: 32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.32) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.32.51) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.32.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.32.51) · Pramāṇa
