### [47.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.47.54)

世間殺父母　命盡墮泥犁  
今加害於王　其罪等無異  
我今實不忍　加惡於大王  
寧令身命盡　終不造逆意

> “In the world, those who kill their father or mother  
> At the end of life fall into Avīci hell;  
> If I now inflict harm upon the king,  
> The sin would be equal and no different.  
> I truly cannot bear  
> To inflict evil upon the Great King;  
> I would rather let my own life end  
> Than ever harbor an intent of treason.”
