The Tathāgata has properly cultivated the four ṛddhipādas and wishes to remain alive for a kalpa or slightly less than a kalpa.' You remained silent and did not reply. He asked you three times, yet you still remained silent. Had you replied, the Buddha would have remained for a kalpa or slightly less than a kalpa. Because of you, the Buddha, the World-Honoured One, was made to enter nirvāṇa prematurely. Make deśanā for this duṣkṛta offense." Ānanda said: "Māra obscured my mind; on that account I was speechless. It was not with an evil mind that I failed to answer the Buddha." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 12.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.12.46) - [Next: 12.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.12.48) - [Up: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.12) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.12.47) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大智度論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.prajnaparamita.pancavimsatisahasrika!mahaprajnaparamitopadesa*zh-kumarajiva.2.43) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.12.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.12.47) · Pramāṇa
