The Yogācārabhūmi says: "It is capable of removing hunger, thirst, and emaciation, and repeatedly utters speech to make known and summon; therefore it is named 'tongue,' which has the meaning of being capable of tasting." The Śūraṅgama-sūtra says: "The tongue is like an inverted crescent moon." Or it is said: "The tongue is like a crescent moon blade." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.6.50) - [Next: 6.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.6.52) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131~en-mt.6.51) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.6.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.6.51) · Pramāṇa
