金光明最勝王經疏 6.192

6.192

經　「爾時第一王子見地動已，告其弟曰：『大地山河皆震動，諸方暗蔽日無光，天華亂墜遍空中，定是我弟捨身相。』第二王子聞兄語已，說伽陀曰：『我聞薩埵慈悲語，見彼餓虎身羸瘦，飢苦所纏恐食子，我今疑弟捨其身。』時二王子生大愁苦啼泣悲歎，即共相隨還至虎所，見弟衣服在竹枝上，骸骨及髮在處縱橫，流血成泥霑污其地。見已悶絕不能自持，投身骨上久乃得甦，即起舉手哀號大哭，俱時歎曰：『我弟貌端嚴，父母偏愛念，云何俱共出，捨身而不歸？父母若問時，我等如何答？寧可同捐命，豈得自存身。』時二王子悲泣懊惱，漸捨而去。」

Sūtra: 'Then, having seen the earth shake, the first prince said to his younger brother: "The great earth, mountains, and rivers all tremble and quake; / the directions are obscured and dark, the sun lacks radiance; / heavenly flowers fall in confusion, filling the air— / this is certainly the sign of my younger brother casting off his body." Having heard his elder brother's words, the second prince spoke a gāthā: "I heard the merciful and compassionate words of Mahāsattva; / seeing that hungry tigress emaciated and weak, / tormented by hunger and distress, I feared she would devour her cubs; / I now suspect that our brother has cast off his body." Then the two princes were filled with great sorrow and distress; weeping and lamenting, they together followed the path back to the tigress's den. They saw their younger brother's clothing hanging on bamboo branches, and his bones and hair strewn about this way and that, the flowing blood having turned to mud and staining the earth. Having seen this, they fainted away, unable to bear it; falling upon the bones, it was long before they revived. They then arose, raised their hands, wailed in grief, and wept bitterly, simultaneously lamenting: "Our brother's countenance was handsome and dignified, / singularly beloved by our parents. / Why did we come out together, / yet you cast off your body and do not return? / When our parents ask, / how shall we answer? / It would be better to perish along with you— / how could we preserve our own lives?" Then the two princes, weeping and grieving in distress, gradually left and departed.'
