Discarding tiles and stones, one fills the earth back in and tamps it, making it level, to test its fullness or emptiness. If, when filled back in, it is just full with no leftover soil, the ground is middling; what one seeks will meet with small success and will not have vast power. If, when filled back in, it is not full and the soil is lacking, the ground is inferior, hollow and deficient, and what one seeks will be difficult to accomplish. If, when filled, there is surplus soil, the ground is auspicious; what one seeks will be swiftly accomplished and will possess great power and function. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.911.1.31) - [Next: 1.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.911.1.33) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.911.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.911~en-mt.1.32) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.911.1.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.911.1.32) · Pramāṇa
