Why don’t you call him that? You also said, ‘I’d finish that Gautama with a single word. He’d fall silent like a turtle hiding in its shell. It’d be no trouble to take away his escape with a single arrow.’ Why don’t you finish the Tathāgata with a single word now?” > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) - [Previous: 8.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.8.50) - [Next: 8.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.8.52) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.8) ## Translations (2) - [The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-patton.8.p81) — Charles Patton, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-mt.8.51) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Udumbarikasutta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.25.20.1-11) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.8.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.8.51) · Pramāṇa
