The refined qi returns to heaven; the flesh returns to earth; the blood returns to water; the pulse returns to marshlands; the voice returns to thunder; motion returns to wind; the eyes return to the sun and moon; the bones return to wood; the sinews return to mountains; the teeth return to stone; the fat returns to dew; the dew returns to grass; and the breath of respiration returns again to humanity." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.6.75) - [Next: 6.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.6.77) - [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.6.76) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.6.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.6.76) · Pramāṇa
