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 64.183
अंगारकर्षू इषु-असितोमरा च क्षिप्ता नभातो पतिता आत्मभावे ।
जनेय सौख्यं सिय ततो स्वस्तिभावो न बोधिसत्वे परुषाणि कृत्वा ॥ १८३ ॥
aṃgārakarṣū iṣu-asitomarā ca kṣiptā nabhāto patitā ātmabhāve |
janeya saukhyaṃ siya tato svastibhāvo na bodhisatve paruṣāṇi kṛtvā || 183 ||
“It would be easier for a man upon whose body glowing embers, knives and axes were thrown from the sky, to ensure his safety and have good luck, than it would be for one who dealt harshly with the Bodhisattva. (183)
