We must not have him going forth from the House into the Homeless state. We must not let what the brahmin soothsayers spoke of come true." > ' So, that these things might not come to pass, he let the youth be still more surrounded by sensuous pleasures. And thus Vipassi continued to live amidst the pleasures of sense. > — Mahapadana Sutta (Dialogues of the Buddha) - [Previous: 2.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.14.2.4.3) - [Next: 2.4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.14.2.4.5) - [Up: 2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.14.2.4) ## Translations (2) - [Dugi govor o velikom podvigu](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.14~sr-brankokovacevic.2.4.4) — sr - [Mahapadana Sutta (Dialogues of the Buddha)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.14~en-rhysdavids.2.4) — English ## Linked texts (2) - [長阿含經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.1.89) — Classical Chinese - [毘婆尸佛經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirgha.mahavadanasutra*zh-dharmadeva.1.11) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.14.2.4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.14.2.4.4) · Pramāṇa
