First, the narrator of the sūtra recounts the assembly's joy; next, they present offerings. From the line "speaking these words" downwards is the actual expression of understanding. First, they grasp the opening of the expedient; from "now turning once again" downwards, they grasp the revealing of the real. The verses consist of six and a half lines, divided into two: the first two lines versify the above opening of the expedient and revealing of the real; the subsequent four and a half lines state their own attainment of understanding, sympathetic joy, and dedication \[of merit\]. "We also are likewise" means: just as Śāriputra grasped and understood, just as Śāriputra received the Buddha's ratification, and just as Śāriputra received the prophecy. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.5.37) - [Next: 5.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.5.39) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718~en-mt.5.38) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.5.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.5.38) · Pramāṇa
