by Émile Senart | 1882 | 56,574 words
This is the Sanskrit Mahavastu: a lengthy work on Buddhist teachings and narratives belonging to the school of early Buddhism (Mahasanghika). This edition only includes those metrical verses occuring in the various stories and Jatakas, as well as the corresponding English translation by J. J. Jones.
Verse 48.5
एतस्मिं निर्गते अनेकविधं ति दुःखं जायिष्यते सुपिनि यं हसितं ति तत्वं ।
यं रोदसि सुपिनि दानि सुखं अनन्तं श्रुत्वा भविष्यति जितं जितशत्रुसंघं ॥ ५ ॥
etasmiṃ nirgate anekavidhaṃ ti duḥkhaṃ jāyiṣyate supini yaṃ hasitaṃ ti tatvaṃ |
yaṃ rodasi supini dāni sukhaṃ anantaṃ śrutvā bhaviṣyati jitaṃ jitaśatrusaṃghaṃ || 5 ||
“By his going forth he will overcome the many forms of ill. That is the true meaning of your laughing in your dream. As for your weeping in your dream, it means that unending bliss will be theirs who hearken to the Conqueror, the vanquisher of his foes. (5)
