I shall now go to the Buddha and report this matter. You may be slightly patient.’ Having comforted his minister, the king mounted a noble elephant and went with his attendants to Jetavana. He paid homage to the Buddha, circumambulated the Buddha three times, joined his palms, knelt upright, and said: ‘Bhagavat! The courtesans of the kingdom of Mathurā have now come here to delude the youths. May the Buddha please transform them.’ The Buddha told the great king: ‘After seven days, the Buddha himself will see to it.’ At that, King Prasenajit paid homage to the Buddha and withdrew.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.643.8.7) - [Next: 8.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.643.8.9) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.643.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.643~en-mt.8.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.643.8.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.643.8.8) · Pramāṇa
