A bhikṣuṇī instructed the marchers, so that all the men attached straining bags to the tips of their bows and used them to filter water. An official reported this to the king. Hearing it, the king was enraged and wanted to execute them all: “You even fear tiny insects and will not kill them; how much less will you be willing to harm bandits when you see them!” A soldier explained to the king, saying: “If tiny insects brought harm to the state, your subjects would kill them all. Since there is no enmity, why should we not be allowed to filter the water to drink?” Hearing this, the king released them. Through the power of the marchers' compassionate roots of goodness, even the bandits all came to surrender and be transformed. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 65.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.65.9) - [Next: 65.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.65.11) - [Up: 65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.65) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.65.10) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [諸經要集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.8.33) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.65.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.65.10) · Pramāṇa
