His wife said, 'I have heard that a person of resolve does not drink from the Stolen Spring, and an honest person does not accept food given with contempt. How much less should one pick up lost items to seek profit and thereby defile one's conduct?' Ashamed, Yangzi discarded the gold in the wilderness and went far away to seek a master and study. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 54.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.54.67) - [Next: 54.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.54.69) - [Up: 54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.54) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.54.68) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.54.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.54.68) · Pramāṇa
