His knowledge was profound, and he was broadly learned with an extensive memory. Earlier, when the Bhikṣu Pārśva arrived in that kingdom, he stayed beneath a tree, pointed to the ground, and said: "If this ground turns the colour of gold, a holy person will arrive." Having spoken these words, the ground indeed became gold. Soon afterwards, Yaśas indeed arrived. \[Pārśva\] thereupon accepted him as a disciple and entrusted him with the Dharma-treasury. Using skilful means, he transformed and saved living beings. Having completed what was to be done, he entered nirvāṇa. The assembly collected his relics and erected a stūpa to make offerings to them (\*Fu fazang jing\*). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.5.16) - [Next: 5.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.5.18) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.5.17) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.5.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.5.17) · Pramāṇa
