His family was exceedingly wealthy, and he had a son named Tianbao, whom Yuan dearly loved. When the boy was ten years old, in the third year of the Taiyuan era, he died of a sudden illness. After several months had passed, a sow kept by the family gave birth to five piglets, one of which was the fattest. Later, when a new official arrived, Yuan was going to use it as a gift and caught it to have it slaughtered. Suddenly a bhikṣu arrived before Yuan and said to him, “This piglet is your son! How could you have forgotten each other within merely a hundred-odd days?” Having spoken, he suddenly vanished. Looking around in search of him, \[Yuan\] saw him in the western sky, soaring through the air and departing. A fragrant aroma filled the air and did not subside until a full day had passed. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 52.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.52.32) - [Next: 52.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.52.34) - [Up: 52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.52) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.52.33) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.52.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.52.33) · Pramāṇa
