Abundance of wealth and jewels; 2. Wondrous sense-objects of desire; 3. Abundance of much learning; 4. Abundance of liberation. This Śrāvastī is the name of the capital city of the kingdom of Kośala in Central India. According to the \*Xiyu ji\*, there are both Northern and Southern Kośalas; to differentiate it from the southern kingdom, both \[the city and kingdom\] are mentioned together. As for King Prasenajit, as the \*Aṅgulimālīya Sūtra\* says: 'Prasenajit is translated here as harmonious and pleasing.' Having seen the wondrous portent, he reflected thus: 'Now that the Buddha manifests this rare sign, he will certainly preach the great Dharma rain: How may we kings protect our states? The Tathāgata with great compassion universally wishes to benefit and gladden \[all\].' The origin of the entire scripture arose from this. Hereafter follows the third part, questioning the assembled congregation. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.167](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.1.167) - [Next: 1.169](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.1.169) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709~en-mt.1.168) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.1.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.1.168) · Pramāṇa
