"Tu" is equivalent to "path" (dao), and does not mean "smeared in mud and charcoal" (tutan). If based on Sanskrit, it is called \*apāyagati\*; here this means "evil path". "Path" carries the meaning of cause, in that one proceeds by treading upon it.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.371](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2.371) - [Next: 2.373](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2.373) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127~en-mt.2.372) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [一切經音義](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.34.521) — 慧琳, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2.372](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2.372) · Pramāṇa
