'Five hundred' is the number; 'disciples' refers to the persons; 'receiving prophecy' is the matter; the title is derived from these three. The five hundred disciples receive the Buddha's prophecy; the reception of the prophecy is called 'receiving prophecy'. This is a tatpuruṣa compound. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.84](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.84) - [Next: 8.86](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.86) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.8.85) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.85](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.85) · Pramāṇa
