For these reasons, the Buddha caused Śāriputra to expound the sūtras. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.22) - [Next: 1.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.24) - [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.1.23) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.23) · Pramāṇa
