We wish and delight to hear.’” > Commentary: This is Subhūti reverently accepting. “Yes, indeed” is words of reverent agreement; “wish and delight” indicates the intention of joyful acceptance. Having received the command to listen, one cannot remain passive; how much less, when he has further promised to expound, could one remain silent? Therefore, he offers reverent compliance and acceptance, honoring the revered words. Therefore, the verse on delighting in the Dharma in the Daśabhūmika-sūtra-śāstra says: > “Like the thirsty longing for cool water, / Like the hungry longing for fine food, / Like the sick longing for good medicine, / Like a swarm of bees relying on honey, / We too are like this: / Wishing to hear the nectar-like Dharma.” > Subhūti is also like this when he says “wish and delight,” and so forth. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2735.1.16) - [Next: 1.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2735.1.18) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2735.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2735~en-mt.1.17) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [金剛般若經疏論纂要](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1701.1.47) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2735.1.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2735.1.17) · Pramāṇa
