A dove came in from outside and perched upon the bed. Lady Zhang detested it; opening her robe at the chest, she prayed, "Dove, if your coming brings me misfortune, fly up onto the ceiling; if you bring me fortune, come and enter my bosom." The dove fluttered, flew into her bosom, and turned into a hook. From that time on, her wealth and property amounted to tens of thousands. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 56.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.56.18) - [Next: 56.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.56.20) - [Up: 56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.56) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.56.19) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.56.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.56.19) · Pramāṇa
