Mahavastu [sanskrit verses and english]
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 64.145
पृथग्जना तु रता हीनसेवी जात्यन्धभूता अबुधा रज्यन्ति ।
रज्यन्ति ते अबुधचेतसेन न कामतृष्णां जने बोधिसत्वो ॥ १४५ ॥
pṛthagjanā tu ratā hīnasevī jātyandhabhūtā abudhā rajyanti |
rajyanti te abudhacetasena na kāmatṛṣṇāṃ jane bodhisatvo || 145 ||
“Worldlings, indeed, pursue what is base; blind and unawakened they are excited by passion; they are excited because their minds are unawakened. The Bodhisattva will not allow himself to feel the craving of desire. (145)
