74 | ANTIQUITIES OF INDIAN TIBET | [VoL. II |
55,000 generations of them lived at Gron-khyer-gser-skya (Kapilavastu). Then King Sin-rta-bcu-pa (Dasaratha) arose. At the end of twenty-five generations after him there arose a king called Gzu-brtan (Dhanvadurga ?). He had two sons Sen-ge-hgram (Simhahanu) and Sen-ge-sgra (Simhanada). Sen-ge-hgram became famous as a skilful archer : he was the greatest of all archers of Hdzam-bu-glin (Jambu-dvipa). Sen-ge-hgram had four sons : Zas-gtsan (Suddhodana) ; Zas-dkar (Suklodana) ; Bre-bo-zas (Dronodana) ; and Bdud-rtsi-zas (Amritodana). Zas-gtsan was of good form, beautiful, handsome to look at, of great strength, a hero, steadfast, clever, conspicuous for wisdom, cheerful, and of great courage. He did not follow those who were lazy and of evil ways. He was a Righteous King (Chos-rgyal, Dharmarája), full of religion, able to reign according to religion. This king married the two daughters of King Legs-par-rab(s)-bsad (Suprabuddha), Sgyu-hphrul-ma (Maya), and Sgyu-hphrul-chen-mo (Mahamaya), each with 500 maid- servants. At a later time King Sen-ge-hgram died, and Zas-gtsan reigned. At that time all men increased in riches, free from disease of man and beast, and possessed of complete felicity ; and he protected them all like children. At that time the holy son of the gods, Tog-dkar-po (Svetaketu), looked out for the race, the country, the time, the lineage, and the mother, and entered the womb of King Zas-gtsan's wife, Sgyu-hphrul-chen-mo (Mahamaya). After he had remained there for twelve months, on the eighth day of the little spring month, under the constellation Tishya, he was born from the right arm-pit of his mother, without being defiled by the impurity of the womb. He was possessed of the thirty-two marks of a great man, and adorned with the eighty physical perfections. p 27. On that occasion various auspicious miracles happened :—In four great countries four princes were born ; in Magadha Gzugs-can-snip-po (Bimbisara), the son of Padma-chen-po (Mahapadma) ; in Kosala Gsal-rgyal (Prasenajit), the son of Tshans- sbyin (Brahmadatta) ; at Bad-pa-la (Kausambi) Sar-ba (Udayana), the son of Dmag- brgya-pa (Sátanika) ; at Hphags-rgyal (Uj jayini) Gtum-po-rab-snarl (Canda-Pradyota), the son of Mu-khyud-mthah-yas (Anantanemi). And, besides them, 500 [sons] of the upper classes. Including Grags-hdzin-ma (Yasodhara), 800. girls and 500 servants, beginning with Mdun-pa (Chandaka), 10,000 male and 10,000 female foals, and 10,000 elephants were born ; 500 pleasure-gardens and 5 00 treasures came into existence. In the centre (Gaya) the Bodhi-tree [began to] grow. The son received the name of Don-thams-cad-grub-pa (Sarvarthasiddha). Then the prince grew up, and distinguished himself in the five great branches of science, reading (letters), arithmetic, etc. As regards strength and dexterity, he was superior to Lha-sbyin (Devadatta) and all other illustrious men, and was called Thub-pa (Jina). Then the son was asked to marry a lady, and the youth replied :- ` The aim of desire is known to me as limitless ; Causing strife and quarrel, it is the root of sorrow and suffering ; It is terrible, like the poison leaf ; It is like fire verily, and like the edge of the sword.' |
