The Buddha told Nanda to take a small piece of thatch used for fish, hold it for a short while, and then throw it away. He had him smell his hand and asked him about it. Nanda said: "There is only a foul, fishy odour." Then they went to an incense shop, and he had him take a piece of paper that had wrapped incense, hold it for a short while, and then throw it away. He asked Nanda again, who replied: "I only smell fragrance." The Buddha said to Nanda: "The contagion of habit from good friends and bad friends is just like this. If one associates closely with good friends, one will definitely attain wide renown."' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.241](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.3.241) - [Next: 3.243](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.3.243) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127~en-mt.3.242) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.3.242](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.3.242) · Pramāṇa
