14.8

“ ‘The four brahmavihāras and the dhyānas,
The doorways to liberation that have been taught,
And easeful examination and analysis
Are not difficult to attain for one established in restraint. {36}

“ ‘One who is established in this supreme restraint
Dwells in compassion and also in equanimity,
And likewise practices the conduct of supreme love,
And has the motivation to benefit all beings.¹³⁶⁵ {37}

“ ‘Maintaining mindfulness and correct exertion,
The five strengths and five powers of the great sages,
And the eight branches of the supreme path of the noble ones
Are not difficult to attain for one trained in restraint of the body. {38}

“ ‘Also, the other sublime qualities of a buddha,
Which are inconceivable and beyond measure,
Are all not difficult to attain for someone
Who has trained in this restraint of the body.’ {39}

“When he had listened to this restraint of the body,
The eminent king¹³⁶⁶ gained exceptional accomplishment.¹³⁶⁷
He felt the highest joy and unequaled happiness
And entered homelessness in that Jina’s teaching. {40}

“For a hundred million years he entered homelessness
And practiced a pure and perfect celibacy.
He also meditated on the four brahmavihāras
In order to benefit the world and its devas. {41}

“Having meditated well on the brahmavihāras,
He saw eight hundred million buddhas,
And even more, as numerous as the Ganges sands,
And he practiced this supreme celibacy. {42}

“He entered homelessness in all of their teachings
And practiced a pure and perfect celibacy.
He became an excellent bhikṣu dharmabhāṇaka
Who was very learned and had eloquent speech. {43}

“Knowing well this restraint of the body,
He had unimpaired conduct, faultless conduct,
Pure conduct, and unalloyed conduct,
And maintained noble conduct that was immaculate. {44}

“If you think, young man, that Viśeṣacintin,
The eminent king of that time, was someone else,
Do not see him as being anyone else:
That was me while I was practicing bodhisattva conduct. {45}
