It has four parts: first, two verses on the father constantly thinking of his son; next, nine verses on the son seeing him, taking fright, and fleeing; next, one and a half verses on the father ordering that he be quickly seized; and last, one and a half verses on the son thereupon becoming anxious and panicked. This is the first. As his years declined, he thought of him all the more; as his practice of the Path was long, his compassion was deep, thinking of him night and day because he contemplated six times daily. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.7.16) - [Next: 7.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.7.18) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.7.17) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.7.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.7.17) · Pramāṇa
