After the king had bathed the Bodhi tree, he next made offerings to the Saṃgha. Then the elder Yaśas said to the king, "Great King, now that a great assembly of bhikṣus has gathered, you should produce a pure mind of faith and make offerings." Then the king personally made offerings with his own hands from top to bottom, and further bestowed the three robes along with four billion ounces of precious jewels as dakṣiṇā upon the fivefold assembly. Having completed the dedications of the dakṣiṇā, he further redeemed Jambudvīpa, the palace women, the court ladies, the crown prince, and all his ministers with forty billion ounces of precious jewels. Immeasurable was the merit made by Aśoka in this way. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 43.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.43.36) - [Next: 43.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.43.38) - [Up: 43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.43) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.43.37) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [雜阿含經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyuktagama*zh-gunabhadra.604.232) — Classical Chinese - [釋迦譜](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2040.5.20) — 僧祐, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.43.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.43.37) · Pramāṇa
