But whatever it may be, Ambaṭṭha, concerning which you are in doubt or perplexity about me, ask me as to that. I will make it clear by explanation.’ 11. Then the Blessed One went, forth from his chamber, and began to walk up and down. And Ambaṭṭha did the same. And as he thus walked up and down, following the Blessed One, he took stock of the thirty-two signs of a great man, whether they appeared on the body of the Blessed One or not. And he perceived them all save only two. With respect to those two — the concealed member and the extent of tongue — he was in doubt and perplexity, not satisfied, not sure. > — Ambattha Sutta (Dialogues of the Buddha) - [Previous: 2.10.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.3.2.10.6) - [Next: 2.10.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.3.2.10.8) - [Up: 2.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.3.2.10) ## Translations (2) - [အမ္ဗဋ္ဌသုတ်](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.3~my-myteam.2.10.7) — Burmese - [Ambattha Sutta (Dialogues of the Buddha)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.3~en-rhysdavids.2.16.7) — English ## Linked texts (2) - [長阿含經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.20.92) — Classical Chinese - [佛開解梵志阿颰經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirgha.ambasthasutra*zh-zhi-qian.1.55) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.3.2.10.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.3.2.10.7) · Pramāṇa
