In a later year, five or six objects as large as round granaries were suddenly seen in the sky, flying up into the air until they were lost from sight. They formed a single piece, drifting up and down with the wind. The court ministers stood watching, unable to fathom what it was. After a long while, it fluttered down and landed atop an earthen wall. Upon inspection, it was the thirteenth scroll of the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā-sūtra. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 18.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.18.22) - [Next: 18.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.18.24) - [Up: 18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.18) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.18.23) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [集神州三寶感通錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2106.3.37) — 道宣, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.18.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.18.23) · Pramāṇa
