Among the Śākya clan, there was a brāhmaṇa who said to the Śākya youths: 'Now that calamity has arrived, why do you stand so gravely?' The Śākyas answered, saying: 'We now do not contend with living beings. If we contend with them, we are not disciples of the Buddha.' The brāhmaṇa then resented their words; he leapt out before the Śākyas and fought with Virūḍhaka, shooting through seven men with a single arrow. Before long, more and more were wounded and killed. Virūḍhaka's fourfold army then retreated. The Śākyas then had this thought: 'We now should not form an alliance with this evil person.' They then assembled the Śākya community and together expelled this man of brāhmaṇa lineage. Once he had been expelled, Virūḍhaka's fourfold army destroyed the state of Śrāvastī. It is through these causes and conditions that you were able to obtain victory." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.5.38) - [Next: 5.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.5.40) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156~en-mt.5.39) — 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.353.5.17) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.5.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.5.39) · Pramāṇa
