In the past there was a king whose name was extraordinary. The king had four sons: the first was named Joyous; the second was named Long Life; the third was named Hundred Years; the fourth was named Fearless. That son named Long Life died before completing a full month. As for the Joyous son, his body developed sores and ulcers, and whoever saw him despised him; his parents were weary and troubled by him, and were never happy. The son named Hundred Years also met his death before completing a hundred days. The Fearless son had a hare-lip, a flat nose, crooked teeth, and protruding fangs; people saw him and were terrified. This is also like that: ideation, sensation, and consciousness have no such various distinctions." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.3.10) - [Next: 3.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.3.12) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384~en-mt.3.11) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.3.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.3.11) · Pramāṇa
