In that time, the names of delicious flavors like ghee, rock honey, and black rock honey weren’t heard in the world any longer. Rice plants changed into grass and weeds. Present-day names of cloth like silk, brocades, twilled cloth, cotton, and white muslin clothing didn’t exist in that time. The best clothing was woven from coarse wool thread. During that time, many brambles, biting insects, flies, snakes, stinging insects, venomous insects, and other poisonous creatures arose. The names of treasures like gold, silver, agate, and pearls disappeared from the Earth. There was only clay, stone, sand, and rocks that covered the land. > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) - [Previous: 6.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.6.19) - [Next: 6.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.6.21) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.6) ## Translations (2) - [The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-patton.6.p59) — Charles Patton, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-mt.6.20) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Cakkavattisutta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.26.19.1-12) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.6.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.6.20) · Pramāṇa
