Official grades have no end, and greed has no satisfaction. Why not support a wife and children and kneel before lord and parents? How would this differ from the Weaving Maiden making seven traverses, or the Herd Boy bearing the yoke? Those with discernment and understanding find nothing commendable here. This is not like Lu Fahe or Śramaṇa Daoping, who were able to render meritorious service in defending the altars of the state, thereby coming to receive provisional official titles. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2126.3.16) - [Next: 3.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2126.3.18) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2126.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2126~en-mt.3.17) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2126.3.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2126.3.17) · Pramāṇa
