Although he was born in Tuṣita as a teacher of all the devas, he is still called by his original clan name. Because he personally received the transmission as the Buddha's disciple, it is also fitting that his dispatch should precede the other bodhisattvas." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.4.5) - [Next: 4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.4.7) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.4.6) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.4.6) · Pramāṇa
