The head is like a great mountain; the inside of the throat is like a needle; the hair is disheveled; the form is emaciated and lean; and they walk leaning on sticks. Those of this sort are extremely numerous. The smallest are like a sensible young child, or, as some say, three inches. The bodily sizes in between are fully expounded according to the sūtras and cannot be completely recorded. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.6.54) - [Next: 6.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.6.56) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.6.55) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.6.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.6.55) · Pramāṇa
