It says that the Buddha spoke to him from the foot of the rock. Vakkali jumped down to meet the Buddha, a depth of many cubits, but he alighted unhurt. It was on this occasion that the Buddha declared his eminence among those of implicit faith; also DhA. iv. 118 f. The DhA. reports three verses uttered by the Buddha in which he assures Vakkali that he will help him and look after him. - [Previous: v2.c35.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.16) - [Next: v2.c35.18](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.18) - [Up: v2.c35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35) ## Linked texts (1) - [Apadāna](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.apadana) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.17) · Pramāṇa
