The Buddha said: 'I have a distinct expedient that will cause you, in a single utterance, to recite the count of many pecks of grain.' He then instructed them to recite the above name of the Buddha. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.311](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.1.311) - [Next: 1.313](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.1.313) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a~en-mt.1.312) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.1.312](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.1.312) · Pramāṇa
