The Tathāgata is completely alone. The king may send a messenger to invite the Tathāgata. When he enters the palace city, five hundred great, vicious black elephants should be plied with liquor to make them completely intoxicated and wild. If the Buddha accepts the invitation and comes into the city, release the heavily intoxicated elephants to trample him to death." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.4.46) - [Next: 4.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.4.48) - [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.4.47) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.4.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.4.47) · Pramāṇa
