For what cause is this so?' Maudgalyāyana answered, saying, 'In your past life you were a horse-trainer, or an elephant-trainer.

Therefore you suffer this pain.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.9.44) - [Next: 9.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.9.46) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123~en-mt.9.45) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [佛說雜藏經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.avadana.ksudrakapitakasutra*zh-faxian.1.24) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.9.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.9.45) · Pramāṇa
