Therefore he first took the bowl and filled it with rice but did not hand it over, fearing that Subhūti, upon getting the bowl, would immediately leave without completing the discourse. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3.6) - [Next: 3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3.8) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.3.7) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [淨名經集解關中疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.387) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3.7) · Pramāṇa
