I am like a calf following behind a great cow. When someone slaughters the great cow, the calf stands beside it and cannot save the great cow. An impermanent life cannot be saved; what is the use of sorrowing, grieving, and weeping? It would be of no benefit at all." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.751b.1.12) - [Next: 1.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.751b.1.14) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.751b.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.751b~en-mt.1.13) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [佛說五無反復經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.751a.1.16) — Classical Chinese - [佛說五無返復經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.752.1.14) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.751b.1.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.751b.1.13) · Pramāṇa
