Buddha-carita, or Life of Buddha - 122 72. Having placed faithful emissaries in disguise to find out the actions of him who was the supreme refuge of all, they went on with faltering steps, saying to each other, ‘How shall we approach the king and see him, who is longing for his dear son?’ [Such is the ninth chapter in the great poem Śri Buddhacarita, called The Deputation to the Prince]
Buddha-carita, or Life of Buddha - 123 Book X [Śreṇya’s Visit] 1. The prince, he of the broad and lusty chest, having thus dismissed the minister and the priest, crossed the Ganges with its speeding autiful palaces. 2. He reached the city distinguished by the five hills, well guarded and adorned with mountains, and supported and hallowed by auspicious sacred places, – like Brahman in a holy calm going to the uppermost heaven. 3. Having heard of his majesty and strength, and his splendid beauty, surpassing all other men, the people of that region were all astonished as at him who has a bull for his sign and is immovable in his vow. 4. On seeing him, he who was going elsewhere stood still, and he who was standing there followed him in the way; he who was walking gently and gravely ran quickly, and he who was sitting at once sprang up. 5. Some people reverenced him with their hands, others in worship saluted him with their heads, some addressed him with affectionate words, – not one went on without paying him homage. 6. Those who were wearing gay-coloured dresses were ashamed when they saw him, those who were talking on random subjects fell to silence on the road; no one indulged in an improper thought, as at the presence of Religion herself embodied.
