2.238

"In all the lands, / Wherever there are hells, / He always goes to those places / To deliver and save them from their sufferings. / In all the lands, / Where animals devour one another, / He manifests birth among them all / To bring benefit to them." / Part six: two verses clarify entering the evil destinies to save beings. This includes the realm of hungry ghosts, which is omitted here for brevity. [Kumāra]jīva says: "Just as in a past age, when people lacked etiquette and righteousness and wished to harm elders, monkeys, elephants, and birds showed respect to elders, causing humans and beasts to cultivate good and all live in harmony, as told in the Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra."
