It is divided into four parts: first, Prajñākūṭa requests to return; second, Śākyamuni has him stay; third, Mañjuśrī emerges; fourth, Prajñākūṭa engages in discussion. This is the first. Examining the meaning of this passage, Prajñākūṭa's request to return shows that the exposition of the sūtra has finished; therefore we know the \[previous\] eight chapters as the main body are superior. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.9.37) - [Next: 9.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.9.39) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.9.38) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.9.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.9.38) · Pramāṇa
