The Buddha said: "Skin bags of myriad foul things, why have you come? Though you may please the worldly, it is difficult to move one of the six supernormal powers. Begone! I have no use for you." The heavenly spirit respected the Buddha all the more and consequently inquired about the meaning of the Way; the Buddha explained it for him, and he immediately attained srotāpanna." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.30) - [Next: 1.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.32) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784~en-mt.1.31) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [註四十二章經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1794.1.203) — Classical Chinese - [འཕགས་པ་དུམ་བུ་ཞེ་གཉིས་པ་ཞེས་བྱ་བའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.tibet.kangyur.mdo_sde.359a.1) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.31) · Pramāṇa
