In the foreign country it is also called \*pustaka\*, which does not exist here.” Furthermore, the omission of the two characters “Sovereign King” leaving only three characters is because the Chinese prefer brevity; the translator condensed it and merely translated it as \*Suvarṇaprabhāsa-sūtra\*. The translations of other masters do not attain such thoroughness. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1783.1.9) - [Next: 1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1783.1.11) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1783.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1783~en-mt.1.10) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1783.1.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1783.1.10) · Pramāṇa
