There are another four classes of good spiritual friends: first, when one is arrested by officials, taking them home to hide them and afterward resolving it; second, when one is emaciated and weakened by illness, taking them home to nurse and look after them; third, when a spiritual friend dies, officially preparing the burial and looking after them; fourth, when a spiritual friend has died, continuing to look after their family.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.9.17) - [Next: 9.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.9.19) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123~en-mt.9.18) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.9.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.9.18) · Pramāṇa
