法苑珠林 47.35

47.35

Toward the relatives of my birth / and the son born to me,
I have no partial or preferential love; / I merely stroke his crown with my hand.
I have extinguished all defilements; / affection and hatred are forever cast off.
Do not harbor doubts / or waver concerning this son;
He too shall go forth from the household life / and become once again my Dharma-son.
To state briefly his merits: / going forth to train in the true Way,
He shall attain the fruit of an arhat.
