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 103.13
शृणोमि धर्मं न च अद्दशामि नेत्रोद्धृतः सूर्यम् इवोदयन्तं ।
आश्वासयादित्यमरीचितेज मोक्षो कदा भेष्यति तिर्यग्योनिषु ॥ १३ ॥
śṛṇomi dharmaṃ na ca addaśāmi netroddhṛtaḥ sūryam ivodayantaṃ |
āśvāsayādityamarīciteja mokṣo kadā bheṣyati tiryagyoniṣu || 13 ||
I hear of the dharma, although, as one who has lost his sight, I see not him who is like the rising sun. O thou whose splendour is like the comforting sun, when will there be deliverance for those in the world of brutes? (13)
