The Bhagavān thought, “It’s too early to solicit today’s alms. I’d better go see \[Poṭṭhapāda\] in the wanderers’ grove. I’ll solicit alms later when it’s the right time.” The Bhagavān then went to the wanderers’ grove. > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) - [Previous: 28.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.28.3) - [Next: 28.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.28.5) - [Up: 28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.28) ## Translations (2) - [The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-patton.28.p2) — Charles Patton, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-mt.28.4) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Poṭṭhapādasutta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.9.1.1-4) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.28.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.28.4) · Pramāṇa
