Zheng says: 'Wheat has husks and belongs to wood.' In summer he eats pulse; pulse is beans; pulse has firm and closed husks and belongs to water. In late summer he eats millet; millet is the chief of the five grains and belongs to earth; earth occupies the center. In autumn he eats hemp seeds; the seeds have grain patterns and belong to metal. In winter he eats broomcorn millet; broomcorn millet blooms freely and disperses, belonging to fire. All these follow the seasons in eating them so as to bring peace to one's constitution. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 59.104](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.59.104) - [Next: 59.106](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.59.106) - [Up: 59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.59) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.59.105) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.59.105](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.59.105) · Pramāṇa
