「『檀特伽陵城,阿婆布和城,
阿槃大天城,鴦伽瞻婆城,
數彌薩羅城,西陀路樓城,
婆羅伽尸城,盡汝典尊造,
五欲有所少,吾盡當相與;
宜共理國事,不足出家去。』

“‘The cities Dantapura and Kaliṅga,
Aśmaka, Potana,
Avanti, Māhiṣmatī,
Aṅga, Campā,
Sauvira, Śālva,
Daradas, Roruka,
Bārāṇasī, and Kāśi
Were all built by you, Govinda.

Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)

What little of the five desires I have,
I will grant all of them to you.
Stay and manage the kingdom’s affairs,
Or leave home and go if it’s not enough.’
