Whenever he saw a śramaṇa, he would alight from his chariot and bow. The man of the Way said, 'Great King, stop! You must not alight from your chariot.' The King said, 'I go up and do not go down. The reason I say "go up and not go down" is that now I pay homage to the man of the Way, and after my life ends I shall be born in the heavens. For this reason I say "go up and not go down."' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.86](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.2.86) - [Next: 2.88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.2.88) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123~en-mt.2.87) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.2.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.2.87) · Pramāṇa
