12.17

He had pacified senses and was amiable,¹²³⁷
He had complete knowledge of others’ previous lives,
And he had transcended the world.
He was the portrait of a supreme leader
With the wisdom of self-arisen buddhahood;
He saw with pure and unobscured eyes
And had extremely great love and compassion.¹²³⁸ {63}

“ ‘Killing through evil desires and causing suffering
Destroys rebirth in the upper realms.
People who are dedicated to their desires
Become deaf and devoid of wisdom.
People who are dedicated to their desires
Become blind and murder their fathers and mothers.
People who are dedicated to their desires slay those with correct conduct,
And therefore people should forsake desires. {64}

“ ‘The kings who are dedicated to their desires,
Those rulers of the world throw away their prosperity
And go to the dreadful, terrible hells
That cause suffering and endless fear.
This kind of bad karma is always created
By the slaying of a wise bhikṣu.
Therefore one who wishes for the peace of enlightenment
Should abandon every kind of bad action. {65}

“ ‘A jina, without dismay, gives away the best forms,
Sounds, tastes,¹²³⁹ smells, tangibles, and phenomena.
He knows the body is like an illusion and chaff,
As are the ears, eyes, nose, and tongue. {66}

“ ‘He trains in unequaled generosity,
correct conduct, patience, and diligence.
He is dedicated to dhyāna, attains perfect wisdom,
And accomplishes the benefit of beings.
The entire world with its devas and humans
Together look with love upon a jina.
Thereby, with eyes that have been freed from blindness,
They become enlightened, attaining the peace of buddhahood.¹²⁴⁰ {67}

“ ‘The jinas joyfully give away horses,
Elephants, litters, palanquins,
Couches, bulls, and carriages,
Wagons, villages, and regions.
They give away towns and kingdoms,
Gold, silver, crystal, and coral.
They give away wives,¹²⁴¹ sons, daughters,
And their own heads, and are established in enlightenment. {68}

“ ‘They joyfully make unequaled
Offerings of flowers and incense,
Holding parasols, banners, divine flags,
