大方便佛報恩經 2.42

2.42

「爾時大王復與諸小國王一切辭別。還至殿上，往大師所，脫身瓔珞、上妙衣服，舉著一面，端身正坐，告諸大臣諸小國王、五百太子、二萬夫人：『汝等今者，誰能為吾剜身千瘡？』夫人、太子及諸群臣，皆共同心而作是言：『我等今者，寧以利刀自剜兩目，終不能以手剜王身也。』爾時，大王心生憂惱：『而我今者單子孤露。大眾之中，乃無一人見佐助也。』

"Then the great king again bade farewell to all the kings of the lesser realms. He returned to the hall, went to where the great master was, took off his necklaces and fine, wondrous clothing, placed them aside, sat upright, and announced to the ministers, the kings of the lesser realms, the five hundred princes, and the twenty thousand consorts: 'Among you now, who can gouge a thousand wounds upon my body?' The consorts, the princes, and all the ministers, all with one mind, made this statement: 'We would rather gouge out our own two eyes with a sharp knife than ever gouge the king's body with our own hands.' At that time, the great king felt distress in his heart: 'Now I am solitary and exposed. Among the great assembly, there is not even a single person who will help me.'
