### [8.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.8.21)

盛哉能仁　悲救為先　乘機赴感  
鞠養慈憐　狐金蛇賞　閹人形全  
知恩報德　幽冥應焉　逆婦鴆夫  
天賜命延　賊獸不害　反報遐年  
違恩背義　禍害危身　貪香伐樹  
肝血塗神

> "Magnificent is the Capable and Benevolent One, / Placing compassionate rescue foremost. / Availing himself of opportunities to respond to needs, / He nurtures with mercy and pity. / The fox's gold and the snake's reward, / The castrated man's body made whole: / Knowing kindness and repaying virtue, / The unseen realm responds thereto. / The rebellious wife poisoned her husband, / Yet Heaven granted a prolonged life; / The predatory beast did not harm, / And in return granted longevity. / Violating kindness and turning against righteousness, / Disasters imperil one's person: / Coveting the incense, he felled the tree; / His liver and blood smeared the spirit."
