495. The prince having dismissed Kandaka, as he entered the Rishis’ abode, his graceful body brightly shining, lit up on every side the forest ’place of suffering;’
496. Himself gifted with every excellence (Siddhârtha), according to his gifts, so were they reflected. As the lion, the king of beasts, when he enters among the herd of beasts,

1. Then having left the weeping tear-faced Chanda,--indifferent to all things in his longing for the forest, he by whom all objects are accomplished, overpowering the place by his beauty, entered that hermitage as if it were fully blessed.

497. Drives from their minds all thoughts of common things, as now they watch the true form of their kind, so those Rishi masters assembled there, suddenly perceiving the miraculous portent,
498. Were struck with awe and fearful gladness, as they gazed with earnest eyes and hands conjoined.

2. He the prince with a gait like the lion’s, having entered that arena of deer, himself like a deer,--by the beauty of his person, even though bereft of his magnificence, attracted the eyes of all the dwellers in the hermitage.

The men and women too, engaged in various occupations, beholding him, with unchanged attitudes,
499. Gazed as the gods look on king Sakra, with constant look and eyes unmoved; so the Rishis, with their feet fixed fast, looked at him even thus;

3. The drivers of wheeled carriages also, with their wives, stood still in curiosity, holding the yokes in their hands,--they gazed on him who was like Indra, and moved not, standing like their beasts of burden with their heads half bent down.

500. Whatever in their hands they held, without releasing it, they stopped and looked; even as the ox when yoked to the wain, his body bound, his mind also restrained;
501. So also the followers of the holy Rishis, each called the other to behold the miracle.

4. And the Brâhmans who had gone outside for the sake of fuel, having come with their hands full of fuel, flowers, and kusa grass,--pre-eminent as they were in penances, and proficients in wisdom, went to see him, and went not to their cells.

The peacocks and the other birds with cries commingled flapped their wings;
502. The Brahmakârins holding the rules of deer, following the deer wandering through mountain glades,
(as the) deer coarse of nature, with flashing eyes [shen shih], regard (or see) the prince with fixed gaze;
503. So following the deer, those Brahmakârins intently gaze likewise,

5. Delighted the peacocks uttered their cries, as if they had seen a dark-blue cloud rising up; and leaving the young grass and coming forward, the deer with restless eyes and the ascetics who grazed like deer stood still.

looking at the exceeding glory of the Ikshvâku. As the glory of the rising sun
504. Is able to affect the herds of milch kine, so as to increase the quantity of their sweet-scented milk,

6. Beholding him, the lamp of the race of Ikshvâku, shining like the rising sun,--even though their milking was over, being filled with joy, the oblation-giving cows poured forth their milk.

so those Brahmakârins, with wondrous joy, thus spoke one to the other:
505. ’Surely this is one of the eight Vasu Devas;’
others, ’this is one of the two Asvins;’ others, ’this is Mâra;’ others, ’this is one of the Brahmakâyikas;’
506. Others, ’this is Sûryadeva or Kandradeva, coming down;

7. ‘It is one of the eight Vasus or one of the two Asvins, descended here,’--these words arose, uttered aloud by the sages in their astonishment at seeing him.

are they not seeking here a sacrifice which is their due? Come let us haste to offer our religious services!’
507. The prince, on his part, with respectful mien addressed to them polite salutation.

8. Like a second form of the lord of the gods, like the personified glory of the universe, he lighted up the entire wood like the sun come down of his own accord.

Then Bodhisattva, looking with care in every direction on the Brahmakârins occupying the wood,
508. Each engaged in his religious duties, all desirous of the delights of heaven,

9. Then he, being duly honoured and invited to enter by those dwellers in the hermitage, paid his homage to the saints, with a voice like a cloud in the rainy season.

10. He, the wise one, longing for liberation, traversed that hermitage filled with the holy company desirous of heaven,--gazing at their strange penances.

11. He, the gentle one, having seen the different kinds of penance practised by the ascetics in that sacred grove,--desiring to know the truth, thus addressed one of the ascetics who was following him:

tatpūrvam adyāśramadarśanaṃ me yasmād imaṃ dharmavidhiṃ na jāne |

addressed the senior Brahmakârin, and asked him as to the path of true religion.
509. ’Now having but just come here, I do not yet know the rules of your religious life. I ask you therefore for information, and I pray explain to me what I ask.’

12. ‘Since this to-day is my first sight of a hermitage I do not understand this rule of penance; therefore will your honour kindly explain to me what resolve possesses each one of you.’

510. On this that twice-born (Brahman) in reply explained in succession all the modes of painful discipline, and the fruits expected as their result.

13. Then the Brâhman well-versed in penance told in order to that bull of the Sâkyas, a very bull in prowess, all the various kinds of penance and the fruit thereof.

511. (How some ate) nothing brought from inhabited places (villages), (but) that produced from pure water, (others) edible roots and tender twigs, (others) fruits and flowers fit for food,
512. Each according to the rules of his sect, clothing and food in each case different,

14. ‘Uncultivated food, growing out of the water, leaves, water, and roots and fruits,--this is the fare of the saints according to the sacred texts; but the different alternatives of penance vary.

who practise austerities, that they may at the end of life obtain a birth in heaven,
516. And by their present sufferings afterwards obtain peaceable fruit.

18. ‘By such penances endured for a time,--by the higher they attain heaven, by the lower the world of men; by the path of pain they eventually dwell in happiness,--pain, they say, is the root of merit.’

The lord of men, the excellent master, hearing all their modes of sorrow-producing penance,
517. Not perceiving any element of truth in them, experienced no joyful emotion in his heart; lost in thought, he regarded the men with pity, and with his heart in agreement his mouth thus spoke:

19. The king’s son, having heard this speech of the ascetic, even though he saw no lofty truth in it, was not content, but gently uttered these thoughts to himself:

518. ’Pitiful indeed are such sufferings! and merely in quest of a human or heavenly reward, ever revolving in the cycle of birth or death, how great your sufferings, how small the recompence!

20. ‘The penance is full of pain and of many kinds, and the fruit of the penance is mainly heaven at its best, and all the worlds are subject to change; verily the labour of the hermitages is spent for but little gain.
