Seeing the venomous dragons, he thought with a mind of benevolence of all sentient beings of Jambudvīpa: 'If my body should now be harmed by these venomous dragons, all of you sentient beings will lose a great benefit.' At that time, the crown prince raised his right hand and said to the venomous dragons: 'You should know! For the sake of all sentient beings, I now wish to see the dragon king.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.4.22) - [Next: 4.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.4.24) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156~en-mt.4.23) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [ཐབས་མཁས་པ་ཆེན་པོ་སངས་རྒྱས་དྲིན་ལན་བསབ་པའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.tibet.kangyur.mdo_sde.353.4.13) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.4.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.4.23) · Pramāṇa
