As the king drew his bow and wished to shoot the deer, he listened to the deer speak a word: "The king is Kāśyapa, and the deer is the Tathāgata's body. No one knew the deer's whereabouts; it was only that person saved from the water and deep affliction. Formerly I saved your life; who could have expected that today you would harm the deer's body? Deliver this word to black-headed beings: across lifetimes it is hard to repay kindness." We universally urge all sentient beings in the bodhimaṇḍa: strive diligently, each bringing forth the bodhicitta. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1983.2.7) - [Next: 2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1983.2.9) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1983.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1983~en-mt.2.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1983.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1983.2.8) · Pramāṇa
