Ānanda! In past lives, Devadatta constantly harbored evil intentions to harm and destroy me. Yet by the power of forbearance, I constantly kept in mind the bestowal of kindness, and by this means he was delivered; how much more so now that I have become a Buddha?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.4.39) - [Next: 4.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.4.41) - [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.4.40) — 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.353.4.24) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.4.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.4.40) · Pramāṇa
