King Prasenajit also comes to give offerings and honors to me, but he doesn’t think, ‘The ascetic Gautama left his clan, and my clan is inferior. The ascetic Gautama left a family of great wealth and majesty, and I was born to a poor and unimpressive family. Therefore, I will give offerings and honors to the Tathāgata.’ King Prasenajit examined the principles of the teaching with a clear awareness of what’s genuine and fake. As a result, he became a believer who respects the Tathāgata. > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) - [Previous: 5.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.5.17) - [Next: 5.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.5.19) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.5) ## Translations (2) - [The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-patton.5.p25) — Charles Patton, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-mt.5.18) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Aggaññasutta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.27.8.1-10) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.5.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.5.18) · Pramāṇa
