Why is that? If there were no water, the earth would be parched and dry without any moisture; grasses, trees, flowers, and fruits would all wither away; and all embodied classes of sentient beings would perish of thirst. For this reason, I am the most superior.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.7.51) - [Next: 7.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.7.53) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384~en-mt.7.52) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.7.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.7.52) · Pramāṇa
