The disciple brought it back. Nāgārjuna asked: 'What did he say?' He answered: 'He was silent and only dropped a needle.' Nāgārjuna said: 'How wise! He is such a man. Summon him inside quickly to meet at this juncture.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.432](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2.432) - [Next: 2.434](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2.434) - [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.2.433) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2.433](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2.433) · Pramāṇa
