Śāriputra is capable of even this, how much more so the Buddha! When Maudgalyāyana was beaten by others, he did not fly away because he could not exercise his supernatural power. Why could he not exercise his supernatural power? Because his past karma had not yet ended." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.38) - [Next: 1.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.40) - [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.1.39) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.39) · Pramāṇa
