Jingxi says: Śāriputra is the origin of the teaching: because the teaching was initiated from him, he is called the origin. He serves as the chief of raw curd for all the śrāvakas; this is the text of the goddess's reproach below. Second, the goddess answers with principle. Regarding 'senior in age': the Erya says: 'Qi means elderly, venerable, old.' The goddess calling Śāriputra senior in age is probably an honorific for an elder. Third, Śāriputra is confused in mind and asks again. Fourth, the goddess again answers with principle. Fifth, Śāriputra awakens and understands in silence. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.122](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.9.122) - [Next: 9.124](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.9.124) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779~en-mt.9.123) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.9.123](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.9.123) · Pramāṇa
