v2.c19.s6.t3.109

"When the Bodhisattva saw her,
Then he trembled, brave though he was,
Full of pity for another's pain,
As the lord of the hills ¹ in an earthquake.
Wonderful, how the pitiful
Remain brave, even when
Great sorrow comes upon themselves,
Yet at another's woe,
Though it be less, they are shaken."
