In the long night you were once born among elephants, and your ears, nose, head, tail, and four legs were cut off, yielding an immeasurable amount of blood. Or you took the form of horses, camels, donkeys, oxen, birds, beasts, and the like, and your ears, nose, head, legs, and four limbs were severed, yielding an immeasurable amount of blood. Or when your bodies died and were cast away in burial grounds, the pus and blood that flowed out were also of such a number. Or during the long night of transmigrating through birth and death, you lost your fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, clan relatives, and friends, or lost wealth and property, and shed tears on account of this—exceedingly vast and immeasurable, exceeding the waters of the four great oceans."' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 66.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.66.8) - [Next: 66.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.66.10) - [Up: 66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.66) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.66.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.66.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.66.9) · Pramāṇa
