13.2

Gentle one, explain to me today
The reason why you came here. {iv}

“ ‘When I have heard your words, I will fulfill your command.
Son of the Buddha, arise and give me your instruction.
Alas, what shall I do, god of gods,
I am helpless and go to you for refuge! {v}

“ ‘Alone like a lion, the king of animals,
You left your pride,¹²⁶³ a supreme saṅgha of bhikṣus,
And with compassion for endless beings,
With no regard for your own life, you came here. {vi}

“ ‘I was overcome with desire and envy
And had this hero cut into pieces.
Now your entire saṅgha of bhikṣus
Has come to the capital in order to see you. {vii}

“ ‘That which I, terrified, request of you,
It is a request that is worthy to be fulfilled.¹²⁶⁴
Puṣpacandra, I pray you free me from fear
And that you rise like the moon when it is full. {viii}

“ ‘Dharmabhāṇaka who is liberated from anger,
Lord of beings, bestow this favor on me.
Today, bestow this one favor on me:
I pray that you arise, shining like the sun. {ix}

“ ‘I have committed an evil, sinful act.
I have slain the supreme dharmabhāṇaka.
When I die I will be reborn in a terrible hell,
And I have no one who can save me from that. {103}

“ ‘Shame upon this sinful mind that creates calamity!
Shame upon this kingship of pride and arrogance!
I will have to go alone, leaving all behind,
Without taking any possessions¹²⁶⁵ with me.¹²⁶⁶ {104}

“ ‘You have the pure Dharma, and have defeated desire and anger.
You speak pleasant words, are self-controlled, and compassionate.
You do no wrong, and are the sole friend of beings.
Supreme Puṣpacandra, why did I slay you? {105}

“ ‘Ah!¹²⁶⁷ You who are wealthy in discipline, patience, and austerity!
Ah! You who possess the qualities of a handsome form and kindness!
Ah! You who are honest, glorious, and trustworthy—
Where have you gone, leaving us behind? {106}

“ ‘Noble one, when your body and limbs were cut,
Milk flowed out and thousands of light rays shone forth.
The entire world was astonished.
My wondrous¹²⁶⁸ guide, I pray that you arise!¹²⁶⁹ {i}
