These five thousand arhats possessed the greatest strength among all arhats; therefore they are said to be like dragons and like elephants. Among water-dwellers the dragon has the greatest strength, and among land-dwellers the elephant has great strength." The Madhyama-āgama says: "The Buddha addressed Udāyin: 'If śramaṇas and the like, from humans up to devas, do not harm with body, speech, or mind, I say that they are dragons and elephants.'" The Jingming shu says: "If an arhat attains transcendence, he is called a mahānāga; his mind is subdued and supple, and the matters of the three vehicles are settled. This is the utmost limit." The Ji says: "As when the Nirvāṇa Sūtra praises their virtue, saying: 'Dragons among humans.'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.1.77) - [Next: 1.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.1.79) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131~en-mt.1.78) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大智度論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.prajnaparamita.pancavimsatisahasrika!mahaprajnaparamitopadesa*zh-kumarajiva.3.237) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.1.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.1.78) · Pramāṇa
