In marshes there are weishe; their form is like a wheel hub, and their length is like a carriage shaft. He who sees one shall become an autocrat. Anciently, when Yu of the Xia surveyed the River, he saw a tall being with a fish's body, who came forth and said, 'I am the essence of the River.' Was he not the River Earl?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 45.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.45.46) - [Next: 45.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.45.48) - [Up: 45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.45) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.45.47) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.45.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.45.47) · Pramāṇa
