Here Devadatta (Ti-p'o-to-lo) and Ajātaśatru-rāja (Wi-sing-yun), having agreed together as friends, liberated the drunken elephant for the purpose of killing Tathāgata. But Tathāgata miraculously caused five lions to proceed from his finger-ends; on this the drunken elephant was subdued and stood still before him. > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 9.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.9.14) - [Next: 9.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.9.16) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.9) ## Translations (1) - [Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087~en-beal.9.1.17) — Samuel Beal 1884, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.9.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.9.15) · Pramāṇa
