This means that their practicing mind is unsettled, just like light hair floating east and west with the wind. The Wei translation of the Vajracchedikā says: 'ordinary beings of the hair-path.' Master Huanying says: "In Sanskrit, vāla means 'hair.' Bāla means 'fool.' The Sanskrit sounds being close, translators made an error. The correct expression is bālapṛthagjana, translated here as 'foolish ordinary being'; foolish and dark, they lack wisdom. They only give rise to views of self and do not generate the untainted \[path\]. They are also called infant-foolish ordinary beings. 'Ordinary being' (fanfu) is a translation by meaning. The Sanskrit bālapṛthagjana means 'child differing-born,' because being foolish like a child, they differ from the birth of sages." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2.79) - [Next: 2.81](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2.81) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131~en-mt.2.80) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [釋氏要覽](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2.358) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2.80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2.80) · Pramāṇa
