39 2 | what the reason of the Lord so extremely extolling the
40 2 | understand it.' But as yet the Lord has declared no more than
41 2 | of this utterance of the Lord.~And the venerable Sâriputra,
42 2 | the law, then said to the Lord: What, O Lord, is the cause,
43 2 | said to the Lord: What, O Lord, is the cause, what the
44 2 | what the reason of the Lord so repeatedly and extremely
45 2 | before have I heard from the Lord such a discourse on the
46 2 | classes of the audience, O Lord, are overcome with doubt
47 2 | perplexity. Therefore may the Lord be pleased to explain what
48 2 | Sâriputra having spoken, the Lord said to him: Enough, Sâriputra;
49 2 | Sâriputra entreated the Lord a second time, saying: Let
50 2 | second time, saying: Let the Lord expound, let the Sugata
51 2 | for in this assembly, O Lord, there are many hundreds,
52 2 | accept the words of the Lord.~The venerable Sâriputra

59 2 | have been brought by the Lord to full ripeness. They will
60 2 | value, and accept what the Lord declares, which shall tend
61 2 | an extreme joy.~When the Lord for the third time heard
62 2 | saluting with their heads the Lord's feet, went to leave the
63 2 | the assembly, to which the Lord by his silence showed assent.~
64 2 | showed assent.~Thereupon the Lord addressed the venerable
65 2 | Sâriputra. 'Very well, Lord,' replied the venerable
66 2 | venerable Sâriputra. The Lord then began and said:~It
67 2 | matter more copiously the Lord uttered the following stanzas:~
68 2 | beware of damage.~39. The Lord, who knew them to be the
69 3 | joined hands towards the Lord, and, looking up to the
70 3 | and, looking up to the Lord with a steady gaze, addressed
71 3 | am astonished, amazed, O Lord! I am in ecstasy to hear
72 3 | hear such a call from the Lord. For when, before I had
73 3 | heard of this law from the Lord, I saw other Bodhisattvas,
74 3 | Tathâgata-knowledge. And whenever, O Lord, for my daily recreation
75 3 | have been dismissed by the Lord with the inferior vehicle.'
76 3 | Instantly, however, O Lord, I felt that it was our
77 3 | was our own fault, not the Lord's. For had we regarded the
78 3 | For had we regarded the Lord at the time of his giving
79 3 | perfect enlightenment, then, O Lord, we should have become adepts
80 3 | understanding the mystery of the Lord, we, at the moment of the
81 3 | ori the law, therefore, O Lord, I used to pass day and
82 3 | self-reproach. (But) to-day, O Lord, I have reached complete
83 3 | complete extinction; to-day, O Lord, I have become calm; to-day,
84 3 | have become calm; to-day, O Lord, I am wholly come to rest;
85 3 | come to rest; to-day, O Lord, I have reached Arhatship;
86 3 | reached Arhatship; to-day, O Lord, I am the Lord's eldest
87 3 | to-day, O Lord, I am the Lord's eldest son, born from
88 3 | My burning has left me, O Lord, now that I have heard this
89 3 | voice from the mouth of the Lord.~And on that occasion the
90 3 | Sâriputra addressed the Lord in the following stanzas:~
91 3 | 8. Days and nights, O Lord, I passed always thinking
92 3 | subject; I would ask the Lord whether I had lost my rank
93 3 | heretics; afterwards has the Lord, regarding my disposition,
94 3 | first heard the voice of the Lord, I had a great terror lest
95 3 | This is not Mâra; it is the Lord of the world, who has shown
96 3 | venerable Sâriputra, the Lord said to him: I declare to
97 3 | master of gods and men, a Lord Buddha.~At that time then,
98 3 | the Buddha-field of that Lord, the Tathâgata Padmaprabha,
99 3 | And on that occasion the Lord uttered the following stanzas:~
100 3 | will be the fate of that Lord. Rejoice, O son of Sâri,
101 3 | joy, that they covered the Lord severally with their own
102 3 | been put in motion by the Lord, the first time at Benares
103 3 | Deer-park; to-day has the Lord again put in motion the
104 3 | time, is it turned here, O Lord. Today, O Master, thou hast
105 3 | laws have we heard near the Lord of the world, but never
106 3 | Sâriputra thus spoke to the Lord: My doubt is gone, O Lord,
107 3 | Lord: My doubt is gone, O Lord, my uncertainty is at an
108 3 | hearing from the mouth of the Lord my destiny to supreme enlightenment.
109 3 | self-controlled (disciples), O Lord, who have been placed by
110 3 | these two thousand monks, O Lord, thy disciples, both those
111 3 | hearing from the mouth of the Lord this law which they had
112 3 | heard before. Therefore, O Lord, please speak to these monks,
113 3 | classes of the audience, O Lord, may be relieved from their
114 3 | venerable Sâriputra the Lord said to him the following:
115 3 | Sâriputra answered: By no means, Lord; by no means, Sugata. That
116 3 | That is not sufficient, O Lord, to qualify the man as a
117 3 | recovering their very body, O Lord, they have received all
118 3 | those toys. If that man, O Lord, had given no single cart,
119 3 | device. Even in this case, O Lord, the man would not have
120 3 | greatest vehicles. That man, Lord, is not guilty of falsehood.~
121 3 | having thus spoken, the Lord said to him: Very well,
122 3 | And on that occasion the Lord uttered the following stanzas:~
123 3 | Never does he behold the Lord of the world, the King of
124 4 | as from the mouth of the Lord they heard the future destiny
125 4 | up to the place where the Lord was sitting; after throwing
126 4 | joined hands before the Lord, looking up to him, their
127 4 | inclined, they addressed the Lord in this strain:~Lord, we
128 4 | the Lord in this strain:~Lord, we are old, aged, advanced
129 4 | Nirvâna; we make no efforts, O Lord, for supreme perfect enlightenment;
130 4 | inadequate to it. Though the Lord preaches the law and has
131 4 | preaching of the law, yet, O Lord, as we have so long been
132 4 | and so long attended the Lord's service, our greater and
133 4 | begin to ache. Hence, O Lord, we are unable, in spite
134 4 | unable, in spite of the Lord's preaching, to realise
135 4 | out of the triple world, O Lord, we imagined having attained
136 4 | decrepit from old age. Hence, O Lord, though we have exhorted
137 4 | longing. And just now, O Lord, we are hearing from the
138 4 | we are hearing from the Lord that disciples also may
139 4 | deem it a great gain, O Lord, that to-day, on a sudden,
140 4 | we have heard from the Lord a voice such as we never
141 4 | acquired a magnificent jewel, O Lord, an incomparable jewel.
142 4 | has become clear to us, O Lord; it has become clear to
143 4 | Sugata.~It is a case, O Lord, as if a certain man went
144 4 | commerce.~In course of time, Lord, that poor man, in quest
145 4 | Now the poor man's father, Lord, the owner of much wealth
146 4 | mass of wealth!~Meanwhile, Lord, the poor man in search
147 4 | great pomp. The poor man, Lord, saw his own father in such
148 4 | other injury.~Thereupon, Lord, the poor man quickly departs,
149 4 | time, moment, and instant, Lord, he despatches couriers,
150 4 | his son.~The householder, Lord, skilfully conceals from
151 4 | own son.~From that time, Lord, the householder, addresses
152 4 | father. In this manner, Lord, the householder affected
153 4 | of straw.~After a while, Lord, the householder falls sick,
154 4 | it to be wasted.~And so, Lord, the poor man accepts the
155 4 | as before.~After a while, Lord, the householder perceives
156 4 | his own).~The poor man, Lord, hearing this speech was
157 4 | and granaries.~Even so, O Lord, do we represent the sons

159 4 | we been prompted by the Lord to ponder on the numerous
160 4 | fee. We were content, O Lord, with the Nirvâna obtained,
161 4 | and made efforts. But the Lord takes no notice of us, does
162 4 | belong to us, though the Lord skilfully appoints us as
163 4 | the Tathâgata. And we, O Lord, are not (impatiently) longing
164 4 | already to receive from the Lord Nirvâna as our fee. We preach
165 4 | knowledge of the Tathâgata, O Lord, without longing. For the

186 5 | venerable Mahâ-Kâsyapa said: Lord, if the beings are of different
187 5 | Nirvâna, or two, or three? The Lord replied: Nirvâna, Kâsyapa,
