In prison there are pardons and releases, but although the passion and desire for wife and children have the calamity of a tiger's mouth, one still willingly casts oneself into them; such guilt is without pardon." - [Previous: 1.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784~en-mt.1.27) - [Next: 1.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784~en-mt.1.29) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784~en-mt.1) ## Linked texts (1) - [四十二章經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.28) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784~en-mt.1.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784~en-mt.1.28) · Pramāṇa
