I only say that this Nālandā, of ours is influential and prosperous, full of folk, crowded with people devoted to the Exalted One. It were well if the Exalted One were to give command to some brother to perform, by power surpassing that of ordinary men, a mystic wonder. Thus would this Nālandā of ours become even so much the more devoted to the Exalted One.’ > ‘There are three sorts of wonders, Kevaddha, which I, having myself understood and realised them, have made known to others. And what are the three? The mystic wonder, the wonder of manifestation, and the wonder of education.’ > — Kevaddha Sutta (Dialogues of the Buddha) - [Previous: 3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.11.3.2) - [Next: 3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.11.3.4) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.11.3) ## Translations (2) - [Razgovor sa Kevaddhom](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.11~sr-brankokovacevic.3.3) — sr - [Kevaddha Sutta (Dialogues of the Buddha)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.11~en-rhysdavids.1.3) — English ## Linked texts (1) - [長阿含經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.24.10) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.11.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.11.3.3) · Pramāṇa
