According to Han regulations, if an incense offering was less than a jin, it could not be accepted. As the Western envoy was about to depart, he opened the incense container, and \[took a piece\] the size of a soybean to test it on the palace gate. The fragrant aroma was smelled for dozens of li in all four directions around Chang'an, and subsided only after an entire day.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 36.72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.36.72) - [Next: 36.74](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.36.74) - [Up: 36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.36) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.36.73) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.36.73](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.36.73) · Pramāṇa
