That the light returns and enters through the crown of his head is to show the great brilliance to later people." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.19) - [Next: 1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.21) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730~en-mt.1.20) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.20) · Pramāṇa
