When I was done soliciting alms, I went to the Great Forest and sat under a tree to contemplate the birthplaces of people from Magadha whose lives have ended. Not far from me, there was a yakṣa spirit that announced its name, saying to me, ‘I am Janavṛṣabha! I am Janavṛṣabha!” Ānanda, have you heard the name Janavṛṣabha before?” > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) - [Previous: 4.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.4.11) - [Next: 4.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.4.13) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.4) ## Translations (2) - [The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-patton.4.p17) — Charles Patton, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-mt.4.12) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Janavasabhasutta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.18.9.1-11) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.4.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.4.12) · Pramāṇa
