The Da zhidu lun states: 'Gold comes from mountain rocks, sand, and red copper.' Xu Shen states: 'Gold has five colors; yellow gold is the foremost. Buried for long it does not change; refined a hundred times it does not lose weight.' Paramārtha explained the four meanings of gold: '1. Its color does not change; 2. Its substance is free of contamination; 3. It can be transformed without hindrance; 4. It makes people wealthy. These are used to illustrate the four virtues of the dharmakāya: permanence, purity, self, and bliss.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.212](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.212) - [Next: 3.214](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.214) - [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.3.213) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.213](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.213) · Pramāṇa
