In form, it is one of the four great elements; in essence, it crowns the five phases. The Chan Source Origin says: 'Water indicates the name; wetness points to its substance.' Settled, it becomes clear; stirred, it becomes turbid; dammed, it ceases; unblocked, it flows. Now in the Buddhist teachings the sources and currents of waters are elucidated; therefore, they are completely listed here so that they may be clearly distinguished. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.115](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.115) - [Next: 3.117](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.117) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131~en-mt.3.116) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.116](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.116) · Pramāṇa
