經律異相 19.15

19.15

畏失摩尼珠　猶執杖呼狗
寶珠不可得　更不來看汝
上饌及眾寶　由此摩尼尊
是終不可得　何故慇懃求
多求親愛離　由是更不來

"For fear of losing the maṇi pearl, / It is like calling a dog while holding a staff; / The precious pearl cannot be obtained, / And I will not come to see you again. / Fine delicacies and various treasures / All derive from this venerable maṇi; / This can never be obtained, / So why seek it so earnestly? / By seeking much, affection is severed; / Because of this I shall not come again."
