1.130

經云。太子聞妓歌詠園林。便欲遊觀導從出城東門。觀者如雲。淨居天化為老人。御者答曰云云。又聞一切皆老。便念我身老至如電。身安足恃。迴車還宮厭心益增。迦毘四面各有一園。林池樓觀莊嚴無異。太子出遊南城門外。淨居諸天化為病人。見便愁思即迴車還。

The sūtra says: The Prince heard the courtesans singing praises of the parks and groves, and thereupon wished to go out on an excursion. Attendants led the way as he left through the east gate of the city, and the spectators were like clouds. A Śuddhāvāsa deva transformed into an old man. The charioteer replied, saying such-and-such. Hearing further that all beings grow old, he thought, “Old age comes upon my own body as swiftly as lightning; how can this body be relied upon?” Turning the chariot back to the palace, his revulsion deepened further. On the four sides of Kapilavastu there was a park on each, their groves, ponds, towers, and pavilions adorned without difference. The Prince went out through the south gate of the city; the Śuddhāvāsa devas transformed into a sick person. Seeing him, [the Prince] became sorrowful and immediately turned the chariot back.
