Your son's body can no longer move now, and I abandon my life here. Parents, do not, like ordinary people, perish together in one place. I humbly speak one word: out of compassion, do not refuse me. You may scrape clean the remaining flesh from between the joints of my body to sustain my parents, so that you may reach your destination.' At that time, the parents followed his words: they took a little more flesh from his limbs and joints and divided it into three portions—one portion given to the boy, two portions eaten by themselves. Having eaten, the parents parted and left. Sujāti stood up and remained gazing after his parents. The parents at that time wept aloud and went on down the road. When his parents had gone far and were out of sight, Crown Prince Sujāti, yearning for his parents, did not turn his eyes away for a moment, and after a long time collapsed to the ground. At that time, from the fragrance of his body's fresh flesh and blood, mosquitoes and gadflies in the ten directions smelled the scent of flesh and blood, came to cover his body, and bit and fed on his whole body; the excruciating pain and agony were beyond description." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.1.51) - [Next: 1.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.1.53) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156~en-mt.1.52) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [ཐབས་མཁས་པ་ཆེན་པོ་སངས་རྒྱས་དྲིན་ལན་བསབ་པའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.tibet.kangyur.mdo_sde.353.1.29) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.1.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.1.52) · Pramāṇa
