In English
At that moment another person, not belonging to the group, was moving in that direction and asked them what the cause of their suffering was. The reply was given that they were ten people when they came to the river, they were ten when they entered the river, but when they came out of the river they were only nine, and that the tenth person has been washed away and this was the cause of their sorrow. When this person was told the reason for their sorrow, he saw that there were in fact ten people and so he asked them to count again in his presence. In the recounting, it was once again one to nine and the person who was counting did not count himself, the tenth one. He was feeling very disturbed that the tenth one was not present. The new person who came in recognised the mis take which they were committing. He himself started counting, one to nine and he pointed out that the tenth person (the person who was counting) was omitting himself uncounted. They all then recognised that the tenth person was not washed away by the river, and that in reality he did not die. Simultaneously in one moment, their sorrow was removed and they were happy. What is the reason for this sorrow which they experienced before? What is the reason for the happiness they are experiencing now? Their ignorance was the cause of their sorrow, and the removal of ignorance was the cause for their happiness.
