How could it not be that the flourishing of the fortunes of the Dharma was also evoked by the Emperor's virtue? Checking the names of the kingdoms of the Five Indias against the Records of the Western Regions, only the Lion Kingdom can be identified; the rest cannot be verified. This is because events change across ancient and modern times, just as what was previously Han and Tang is now Song; in reality, they belong to the same realm. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 44.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.44.36) - [Next: 44.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.44.38) - [Up: 44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.44) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.44.37) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.44.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.44.37) · Pramāṇa
