Among the devas, humans, and ṛṣis of the world, my all-knowing vision is the most supreme; I also cause the astral luminaries to protect the realms and nurture sentient beings. You must proclaim this so that they may know the realms and sentient beings as I have allotted them, each protecting and nurturing according to its allotment. The number of realms allotted belongs respectively to the twenty-eight lunar mansions.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.4.37) - [Next: 4.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.4.39) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.4.38) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.4.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.4.38) · Pramāṇa
