You indeed are the self named the son; live thus for a hundred autumns.' / I was born from your limbs and indeed from your heart. // 19
Through myself, so also through your self, I delivered you; / therefore, may all of you consider with concentrated mind: // 20
It was indeed by your own action that you were delivered from that terrible hell. / Nor does any foolish person deliver another through another's action; // 21
for the ripening of fruit for living beings is determined by their own deeds.
Sanatkumāra said:
Then, having been spoken to in this way by that great-souled one, / those ancestors, their eyes brimming with tears of joy, then spoke these words: // 22
The ancestors said:
Who other than you would speak thus, unless he were favored by the Lord? / This word of yours, righteous and great-souled one, is most fitting. // 23
