Answer: There are three Ānandas: first, Ānanda, who upheld the śrāvaka teachings; second, Ānandabhadra, who upheld the pratyekabuddha teachings; third, Ānandasāgara, who upheld the Mahāyāna. The third Ānanda upheld the Mahāyāna sūtras, so there is no contradiction. This is as explained in the \*Jin’gangxian lun\* and the \*Sūtra on King Ajātaśatru’s Repentance\* cited by Paramārtha. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.1.29) - [Next: 1.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.1.31) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708~en-mt.1.30) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.1.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.1.30) · Pramāṇa
