2.42

She tumbled and cast herself down from the golden couch, (tears falling like clouds and rain)
Her seven-jeweled crown and garments were shattered by the fall. (within the twin groves)
Blood flowed from her seven orifices, turning into pools; (tears falling like clouds and rain)
Heavenly maidens brought water to sprinkle on her face. (within the twin groves)
Only after a long while did the Buddha's mother revive; (tears falling like clouds and rain)
Leading the host of heavenly maidens, she descended upon the clouds, (within the twin groves)
Directly reaching the twin śāla trees. (tears falling like clouds and rain)
The encoffinment in the golden coffin and silver outer-coffin had already ended; (within the twin groves)
The monastic robes and锡 staff were suspended among the trees. (tears falling like clouds and rain)
The ten great disciples wept and wailed aloud, (within the twin groves)
Just like infant babes yearning for their mother. (tears falling like clouds and rain)
The Buddha's mother circumambulated the coffin, weeping with mournful sorrow; (within the twin groves)
A hundred birds came to assist the grief of the heart. (tears falling like clouds and rain)
"Others say separation in life is worse than parting in death; (within the twin groves)
I say parting in death is worse than separation in life." (tears falling like clouds and rain)
The golden coffin and silver outer-coffin suddenly opened, (within the twin groves)
And he sat again upon the thousand-petaled lotus terrace. (tears falling like clouds and rain)
From within the flower, the Tathāgata spoke to his mother: (within the twin groves)
"All fond affection must have its parting. (tears falling like clouds and rain)
We part for only a brief minor kalpa, compassionate mother; (within the twin groves)
May mother strive not to sorrow and grieve!" (tears falling like clouds and rain)
