His body was one \*zhang\*, five \*chi\*, and two \*cun\* tall; two days after the Buddha arrived at the city of Kapilavastu, he delivered him. "Sundara" is translated here as "upright and handsome," and also as "soft and supple"; wishing to distinguish him from the former one, he was designated by his wife's name. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.236](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.1.236) - [Next: 1.238](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.1.238) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721~en-mt.1.237) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [妙法蓮華經玄贊](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.1.108) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.1.237](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.1.237) · Pramāṇa
