Moreover, the "Upholding \[the Dharma\] Chapter" says, "Previously I generally prophesied that all śrāvakas have already received prophecies," which refers to these present one and a half verses, and is not merely conferring prophecies upon seven hundred śrāvakas. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.8.8) - [Next: 8.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.8.10) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718~en-mt.8.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.8.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.8.9) · Pramāṇa
