Beings are divided into high, middle, and low by their actions. From now on, honor what I have said!” When the Buddha had finished this discourse on Dharma, the brahmin youth Śuka developed faith in the Bhagavān and said, “Gautama, when you intend to go to the houses of other lay people in Śrāvastī, I beg you to consider also going to the house of my father, the brahmin Taudeya.⁴⁰¹ This will lead to happiness and benefit in the house of the brahmin Taudeya for a long time.” By remaining silent, the Bhagavān consented to the brahmin youth Śuka’s request. Then, when the brahmin youth Śuka recognized that the Bhagavān had consented through silence, he was delighted about the Bhagavān’s teachings. Having rejoiced, he departed from the Bhagavān. - [Previous: 43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.mahakarmavibhanga*bo~en-84000.43) - [Next: notes.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.mahakarmavibhanga*bo~en-84000.notes.1) ## Linked texts (1) - [ལས་རྣམ་པར་འབྱེད་པ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.mahakarmavibhanga*bo.44) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.mahakarmavibhanga*bo~en-84000.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.mahakarmavibhanga*bo~en-84000.44) · Pramāṇa
