26_18

Nectar like poison, water like fire, light like a dense mass of darkness, / a friend like an enemy, a garland like a serpent, a wish-fulfilling jewel like a clod of earth, / moonlight like summer heat—thus that foolish-minded person considers, / who regards the Jinendra's doctrine, a market of goods of compassion, as equal to a blind doctrine. // 19
