That the Buddha entered them manifests his superior majestic virtue. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.3.20) - [Next: 3.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.3.22) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702~en-mt.3.21) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.3.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.3.21) · Pramāṇa
