He translates— "Jadis, lorsque Jou-lai était sur le point d'obtenir l'intelligence accomplie, l'un des esprits de la terre servit de temoin au \*Bouddha\*". The reading in the A, C, and D texts after "Formerly when Ju-lai was about to become Buddha" is \*i-pao-Mo-chih-i-wei-Fo-chéng\* (一報魔至一爲佛證), "one announced the arrival of Māra, one became Buddha's witness". By some mistake the Ming texts leave out the \*i-pao\*, "one announced" and Julien, equal to the occasion, leaves out "the arrival of Māra".¹ - [Previous: v2.c19.122](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.watters-1904.v2.c19.122) - [Next: v2.c19.124](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.watters-1904.v2.c19.124) - [Up: v2.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.watters-1904.v2.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.watters-1904.v2.c19.123](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.watters-1904.v2.c19.123) · Pramāṇa
