Having seen this, he gave rise to compassion in his heart, wrapped and cleaned her with grass clothing, and carried her back. He gathered various wondrous fruits to nourish and raise her according to the seasons, and she gradually grew up to the age of fourteen. Her father loved and cared for her, and always had her tend the fire overnight so that it would not go out. Suddenly, one day, through inattention of heart, she let the fire go out. Her father reproached and scolded her severely, and said to the girl: 'Ever since I grew up, I have never let this fire go out. Why have you let it go out today? There is fire in the northern cave; you may go fetch some.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.3.30) - [Next: 3.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.3.32) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156~en-mt.3.31) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.3.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.3.31) · Pramāṇa
