Also, my mind became disturbed, so it seems as if
Our younger brother has given away his body.”
“ ‘Mahādeva said:
“ ‘ “I also became worried when he spoke
Those words of compassion while gazing upon
The starving one tormented by a hundred sufferings,
Extremely weak and ready to eat her own cubs.”
“ ‘Then those two young princes, oppressed by sadness, their eyes filled with tears, returned along their path and reached the tigress. They saw all their brother’s clothes were hung upon a bamboo branch, his bones were torn apart and separated, his blood had muddied the ground, and his hair was scattered here and there.
“ ‘When they saw that, they fainted, falling on his bones, where they lay for a while until they revived, stood up, stretched out their arms, and emitted cries of despair.
“ ‘ “Alas! Beloved young brother! The king
And also the mother who loves her son
Will ask us about our little brother:
‘Where have you left the one with lotus eyes?’
“ ‘ “Alas, it would be better for us two to die
In this place, for it will not be good if we live!
How will our parents be able to look upon us
When Mahāsattva no longer exists?”
“ ‘Then the two young princes, weeping and crying out pitifully in many ways, returned.
“ ‘The attendants of the young princes had gone in search of them, running around in all directions, and when they saw one another they asked, “Where is the boy? Where is the boy?”
“ ‘At that time, the queen was sleeping in her bed, and in a dream she became separated from a loved one in this way: her breasts were both cut off, her teeth fell out, and she saw a hawk carry off one of three frightened dove chicks. Then the queen, alarmed by the earth shaking, woke up at that moment and became deep in thought:
“ ‘ “This support of beings, which is clothed by the oceans, has been completely shaken.
The light rays of the sun vanished, which indicates that there will be grief in my heart.
