Within this there are two parts: first, citing King Śakra to verify that prajñā can protect the state, just as this event is cited and presented in the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra; second, from 'the kingdom of Tianluo' onward, citing Universal Clarity (Samantaprabhāsa) to prove that prajñā can protect bodily life, citing as evidence what is explained in the Sūtra of the Ten Kings about the gathering of five thousand kings. Within the first, citing the heavenly king, there are four points: 1. adducing King Mūrdhagata leading forces to seize the heavenly kingdom; 2. explaining Śakra's ritual method of practice to protect the kingdom; 3. from 'Mūrdhagata immediately retreated' onward, explaining Mūrdhagata's retreat and dispersion; 4. from 'as explained in the Sūtra on Eradicating Sins' onward, citing a sūtra as confirmation. Here, the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra should be called the Sūtra on Eradicating Sins, as it is expounded in the chapter on King Ajātaśatru. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.3.16) - [Next: 3.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.3.18) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707~en-mt.3.17) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.3.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.3.17) · Pramāṇa
