All the body of learned masters from this place have reached heaven;
544. ’All the learned Rishis who have sought religious merit, have from this place and northwards (found it), those who have attained a knowledge of the true law, and gained divine wisdom come not from southwards;

41. ‘From hence, again, the Northern quarter is especially to be fitly followed for the sake of preeminent merit; even one who was wise starting towards the south could not advance one single step.

545. ’If you indeed see us remiss and not earnest enough, practising rules not pure, and on that account are not pleased to stay,
546. ’Then we are the ones that ought to go; you can still remain and dwell here,

42. ‘Hast thou seen in this sacred grove one who neglects all ceremonies or who follows confused ceremonies or an outcast or one impure, that thou dost not desire to dwell here? Speak it out, and let the abode be welcomed.

all these different Brahmakârins ever desire to find companions in their penances.
547. ’And you, because you are conspicuous for your religious earnestness, should not so quickly cast away their society:
if you can remain here, they will honour you as god Sakra,
548. ’Yea! as the Devas pay worship to Brihaspati (or, Virudhakapati).’

43. ‘These hermits here desire thee as their companion in penance, thee who art like a storehouse of penance,--to dwell with thee who art like Indra would bring prosperity even to Vrihaspati.’

Then Bodhisattva answered the Brahmakârins and told them what his desires were:
549. ’I am seeking for a true method of escape, I desire solely to destroy all mundane influences;

44. He, the chief of the wise, when thus addressed in the midst of the ascetics by their chiefÞhaving resolved in his mind to put an end to all existence--thus uttered his inward thought:

ṛjvātmanāṃ dharmabhṛtāṃ munīnām iṣṭātithitvāt svajanopamānām |
evaṃvidhair māṃ prati bhāvajātaiḥ prītiḥ parā me³ janitaś ca mānaḥ⁴ || 7.45 ||

3. EBC: parātmā. 4. EBC: mārgaḥ.

(17)汝等心質直行法亦寂默

but you, with strong hearts, practise your rules as ascetics,
550. ’And pay respectful attention to such visitors as may come. My heart indeed is moved with affection towards you,

45. ‘The upright-souled saints, the upholders of religion, become the very ideal of our own kindred through their delight in showing hospitality; by all these kind feelings of thine towards me affection is produced in me and the path which regards the self as supreme is revealed.

for pleasant conversation is agreeable to all, those who listen are affected thereby;
551. ’And so hearing your words, my mind is strengthened in religious feeling;

46. ‘I seem to be all at once bathed by these gentle heart-touching words of thine, and the joy now throbs in me once more which I felt when I first grasped the idea of dharma.

evaṃ pravṛttān bhavataḥ śaraṇyān atīva saṃdarśitapakṣapātān |

(21)汝等悉歸我以爲法良朋
(22)而今棄捨汝其心甚悵然

you indeed have all paid me much respect, in agreement with the courtesy of your religious profession;
552. ’But now I am constrained to depart, my heart grieves thereat exceedingly,

47. ‘There is sorrow to me when I reflect that I shall have to depart, leaving you who are thus engaged, you who are such a refuge and who have shown such excessive kindness to me,--just as there was when I had to leave my kindred behind.

svargāya yuṣmākam ayaṃ tu dharmo mamābhilāṣas tv apunarbhavāya |

first of all, having left my own kindred, and now about to be separated from you.
553. ’The pain of separation from associates, this pain is as great as the other, it is impossible for my mind not to grieve, as it is not to see others’ faults.

48. ‘But this devotion of yours is for the sake of heaven,--while my desire is that there may be no fresh birth; therefore I wish not to dwell in this wood; the nature of cessation is different from that of activity.

tan nāratir me na parāpacāro vanād ito yena parivrajāmi |

(26)但汝等苦行悉求生天樂
(27)我求滅三有形背而心乖
(28)汝等所行法自習先師業
(29)我爲滅諸集以求無集法

554. ’But you, by suffering pain, desire earnestly to obtain the joys of birth in heaven; whilst I desire to escape from the three worlds, and therefore I give up what my reason (mind) tells me must be ejected.
555. ’The law which you practise, you inherit from the deeds of former teachers, but I, desiring to destroy all combination (accumulation), seek a law which admits of no such accident.
556. ’And therefore I cannot in this grove delay for a longer while in fruitless discussions.’

49. ‘It is not therefore any dislike on my part or the wrong conduct of another, which makes me go away from this wood; for ye are all like great sages, standing fast in the religious duties which are in accordance with former ages.

At this time all the Brahmakârins, hearing the words spoken by Bodhisattva,
557. Words full of right reason and truth, very excellent in the distinction of principles, their hearts rejoiced and exulted greatly, and deep feelings of reverence were excited within them.

50. Then having heard the prince’s discourse, gracious and of deep meaning, gentle, strong, and full of dignity, the ascetics paid him especial honour.

kaścid dvijas tatra tu bhasmaśāyī prāṃśuḥ śikhī dāravacīravāsāḥ |

558. At this time there was one Brahmakârin, who always slept in the dust, with tangled hair and raiment of the bark of trees, his eyes bleared (yellow), preparing himself in an ascetic practice (called) ’high-nose.’

51. But a certain Brâhman who was lying there in the ashes, tall and wearing his hair in a tuft, and clothed in the bark of trees, with reddish eyes and a thin long nose, and carrying a pot with water in his hand, thus lifted his voice:

dhīmann udāraḥ khalu niścayas te yas tvaṃ yuvā janmani dṛṣṭadoṣaḥ |

(7)而白菩薩言志固智慧明

(9)祠祀祈天神及種種苦行
(10)悉求生天樂未離貪欲境
(11)能與貪欲爭志求眞解脱
(12)此則爲丈夫決定正覺士

4. 善知離生安＝知離生則安＋（不著生天福志求滅身是則未曾有惟見此一人）四句二十字＜三＞

559. This one addressed Bodhisattva in the following words: ’Strong in will! bright in wisdom! firmly fixed in resolve to escape (pass beyond) the limits of birth, knowing that in escape from birth there alone is rest,
560. ’Not affected by any desire after heavenly blessedness, the mind set upon, the eternal destruction of the body (bodily form), you are indeed miraculous in appearance, (as you are) alone in the possession of such a mind.
561. ’To sacrifice to the gods, and to practise every kind of austerity, all this is designed to secure a birth in heaven, but here there is no mortification of selfish desire,
562. ’There is still a selfish personal aim; but to bend the will to seek final escape, this is indeed the work of a true teacher, this is the aim of an enlightened master;

52. ‘O sage, brave indeed is thy purpose, who, young as thou art, hast seen the evils of birth; he who, having pondered thoroughly heaven and liberation, makes up his mind for liberation,--he is indeed brave!

563. ’This place is no right halting-place for you, you ought to proceed to Mount Pinda (Pândava), there dwells a great Muni, whose name is A-lo-lam (Arâda Râma).

53. ‘By all those various sacrifices, penances and vows the slaves of passion desire to go to heaven; but the strong, having battled with passion as with an enemy, desire to obtain liberation.

564. ’He only has reached the end (of religious aims), the most excellent eye (of the law). Go therefore to the place where he dwells, and listen there to the true exposition of the law.

54. ‘If this is thy settled purpose, go quickly to Viüdhyakoshtha; the Muni Arâḍa lives there who has gained an insight into absolute bliss.

565. ’This will make your heart rejoice, as you learn to follow the precepts of his system. As for me, beholding the joy of your resolve, and fearing that I shall not obtain rest,

566. ’I must once more let go (dismiss) those following me, and seek other disciples;

55. ‘From him thou wilt hear the path to truth, and if thou hast a desire for it, thou wilt embrace it; but as I foresee, this purpose of thine will go on further, after having rejected his theory.

straighten my head (nose) and gaze with my full eyes; anoint my lips and cleanse my teeth,
567. ’Cover my shoulders and make bright my face, smooth my tongue and make it pliable. Thus, O excellently marked, sir! fully drinking (at the fountain of) the water you give (glorious water),

56. ‘With the nose of a well-fed horse, large long eyes, a red lower lip, white sharp teeth, and a thin red tongue,--this face of thine will drink up the entire ocean of what is to be known.

568. ’I shall escape from the unfathomable depths. In the world nought is comparable to this, that which old men and Rishis have not known, that shall (I) know and obtain:

57. ‘That unfathomed depth which characterises thee, that majesty and all those signs of thine,--they shall win a teacher’s chair in the earth which was never won by sages even in a former age.’

569. Bodhisattva having listened to these words, left the company of the Rishis, whilst they all, turning round him to the right, returned to their place.

58. The prince replied, ‘Very well,’ and having saluted the company of sages he departed; the hermits also having duly performed to him all the rites of courtesy entered again into the ascetic grove.
