Furthermore, the Satyavadvipravāra Sūtra states: 'If one does not keep the precepts, one will not even obtain the body of a mangy jackal, much less obtain a body endowed with merit.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 90.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.90.5) - [Next: 90.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.90.7) - [Up: 90](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.90) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.90.6) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.90.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.90.6) · Pramāṇa
