Many have known him, and his fame is heard far away. Just as there’s nothing that the ocean doesn’t holds, he gets many kinds of support. Great king, it would be fitting to visit him and exchange greetings. If the king meets him, his mind might be enlightened.” > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) - [Previous: 27.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.27.16) - [Next: 27.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.27.18) - [Up: 27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.27) ## Translations (2) - [The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-patton.27.p13) — Charles Patton, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-mt.27.17) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Sāmaññaphalasutta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.2.4.1-5) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.27.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.27.17) · Pramāṇa
