I am like a calf following a great cow: when someone slaughters the great cow, though the calf is by her side, it cannot save the great cow. A life \[bound to\] impermanence cannot be saved; what use is it to sorrow, grieve, and weep? It is of no benefit at all." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.752.1.13) - [Next: 1.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.752.1.15) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.752.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.752~en-mt.1.14) — 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.751b.1.13) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.752.1.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.752.1.14) · Pramāṇa
