The \*Zhongben Jing\* states: "In the country of Rājagṛha, the elder Kalandaka thought to himself: 'How regrettable that I gave my grove to the Nirgranthas! If the Buddha had arrived first, I would have offered it to the Buddha and the Saṃgha. I deeply regret that earlier gift; it has been completely wasted.' A great yakṣa general named Pānīya knew his thought, and at once summoned yakṣas to expel the Nirgranthas: 'You who are naked and shameless ought not to stay here!' Terrified, the Nirgranthas fled in haste. The elder rejoiced and constructed a monastery, offering it to the Buddha and the Saṃgha." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 63.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.63.67) - [Next: 63.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.63.69) - [Up: 63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.63) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.63.68) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [中本起經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.avadana.nidana.madhyamanidanasutra*zh-tanguo.1.85) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.63.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.63.68) · Pramāṇa
