Why did the Tathāgata need to promise an explanation? Truly, because Maudgalyāyana's grief had shaken the cold springs and his weeping harmed the trees on the burial mounds, and he hurried back to report everything, which was truly lamentable. Therefore, he promised the explanation beforehand and rescued her afterward. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2781.1.17) - [Next: 1.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2781.1.19) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2781.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2781~en-mt.1.18) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [佛說盂蘭盆經疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1792.2.50) — Classical Chinese - [佛說報恩奉盆經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.686.1.4) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2781.1.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2781.1.18) · Pramāṇa
