Master Zhao only brought out three, not bringing out heavenly nāgas. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2.77) - [Next: 2.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2.79) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728~en-mt.2.78) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [翻譯名義集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2.31) — 法雲, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2.78) · Pramāṇa
