In Ghostly Japan, Names of Incense Used., part 2, sentence 121

In Mr. Henry Clarke Warren’s _Buddhism in Translations_ (the most interesting and valuable single volume of its kind that I have ever seen), there is a Pali version of the legend, which differs considerably from the above.—This Nanda, according to Mr. Warren’s work, was a prince, and the younger half-brother of Sâkyamuni.

Who acts: kind, Pali version, legend · What happens: see, be, differ, accord · To what, where: Henry, prince
