1.374

"Before long, from here / I shall descend to Jambudvīpa, / and in Kapilavastu, / be born in the palace of King Śuddhodana. / Bidding farewell to parents and relatives, / forsaking the rank of wheel-turning king, / I shall leave home to practice and train in the Path, / and attain sarvākārajñatā. / Erecting the banner of the true Dharma, / I can dry up the ocean of afflictions, / shut the gates to the evil destinies, / and forever open the eightfold noble path. / I shall broadly benefit devas and humans / in numbers that cannot be measured. / For this reason, / you should not give rise to distress."
