I was once a human king, a layman in the Tathāgata’s teaching. I whole-heartedly recollected the Buddha when my life ended, and I was born a prince of the god king Vaiśravaṇa as a result. From then until now, I’ve always clearly known the teachings, attained stream entry, and haven’t fallen to a bad destiny. For seven births, my name has always been Janavṛṣabha.” > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) - [Previous: 4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.4.7) - [Next: 4.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.4.9) - [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.p13) — Charles Patton, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-mt.4.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.4.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.4.8) · Pramāṇa
