The Prince of Chu was installed as Crown Prince. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.152](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.3.152) - [Next: 3.154](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.3.154) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037~en-mt.3.153) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [佛祖歷代通載](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.13.58) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.3.153](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.3.153) · Pramāṇa
