I left my capital city Ratnāvatī On the way to a place that was a park. {80} “While riding in the chariot I saw a bhikṣu Who was perfectly handsome and attractive, Wearing the armor of the thirty-two signs, And he illuminated all directions. {81} “He was renowned as Supuṣpacandra, And was compassionate, beneficial, and kind. He was beautiful with his splendor and majesty, And through his love for beings he had come to town. {82} “I could not be his equal in appearance, And a malevolent envy arose within me. I was attached to desires and clung to my kingdom, And thought he would deprive me of my kingdom. {83} “I had sons that numbered a full thousand, Who were following behind me riding in chariots, And who wore various kinds of diadems and jewelry, As if the devas who were lords of Trāyastriṃśa had come. {84} “I also had there five hundred daughters, Who were very beautiful and wore bejeweled shoes, Beautified by ribbons, diadems, and jewelry, Who pulled my chariot with cords of gold.¹²⁵⁵ {85} “I had my eighty thousand wives, Who were all alluring and very beautiful. From within their chariots they saw the bhikṣu, Whose body had the shining splendor of Mount Meru. {86} “When they saw him they conceived of him as like a father, And they developed the aspiration to attain supreme enlightenment. Then they adopted the practice of celibacy And they cast off their delightful jewelry. {87} “At that time there arose within me envy And intractable, pitiless malice and anger. Proud of my power, I said to my sons, ‘Slay that bhikṣu who is before me!’ {88} “The princes, on hearing my words, Became distressed and unhappy. - [Previous: 12.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samadhiraja*bo~en-84000.12.20) - [Next: 12.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samadhiraja*bo~en-84000.12.22) - [Up: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samadhiraja*bo~en-84000.12) ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་ཆོས་ཐམས་ཅད་ཀྱི་རང་བཞིན་མཉམ་པ་ཉིད་རྣམ་པར་སྤྲོས་པ་ཏིང་ངེ་འཛིན་གྱི་རྒྱལ་པོ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samadhiraja*bo.12.21) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samadhiraja*bo~en-84000.12.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samadhiraja*bo~en-84000.12.21) · Pramāṇa
