The Buddha did not breathe, and his light shone into the water. The dragon's eyes opened and he immediately recognized the Tathāgata; as with the previous three buddhas, he emerged fully with perfumed water, circled him clockwise seven times, his body four thousand li in circumference from where the Buddha sat. The dragon had seven heads, which spread over the Buddha to shield him for seven days, so that with one mind the Buddha suffered neither hunger nor thirst. When the rain stopped, he transformed into a young renunciant in fresh, fine garments, bowed his head to pay respects, and received the three refuges. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.163](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2041.1.163) - [Next: 1.165](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2041.1.165) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2041.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2041~en-mt.1.164) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [釋迦譜](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2040.1.465) — 僧祐, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2041.1.164](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2041.1.164) · Pramāṇa
