大方便佛報恩經 3.39

3.39

"Then Lady Deer-Mother addressed the great king: 'Let the king not trouble and disturb the realm to summon wet nurses. In the royal palace there are naturally five hundred consorts. Those ladies were jealous of my bearing sons. The king may now give one prince to each consort to nurse and nurture; would they not then be their children?' The king answered the lady: 'The five hundred consorts have constantly harboured jealousy, troubling and harming you, Deer-Mother. If you now wished me to whip them with rods, expel and banish them, or take their lives, I would not oppose you, my lady. How can you now let go and forgive in the midst of resentment and enmity? This is exceedingly difficult to equal. Furthermore, you can bestow grace as vast as heaven and earth, giving your princes to the consorts.'
