2.49
"When the five hundred princes saw their father the king's bodily wounds heal completely, they rejoiced immeasurably. They came forward, bowed their heads at his feet, withdrew to stand on one side, and joined their palms toward their father, crying out in unison with one voice: 'It is unprecedented! Now our father the king is truly greatly compassionate, pitying all beings.' The king said to the princes: 'If you are filial sons, you should give rise to the mind set on anuttarasamyaksaṃbodhi.' When the princes heard these words, they rejoiced, and moved by the profound kindness of their father the king, upon hearing his words they immediately gave rise to the mind set on anuttarasamyaksaṃbodhi. The twenty thousand royal consorts and hundreds of thousands of palace maidens did likewise."
