Translation 585 <strong>Vessantara</strong>-Jåtaka<br />
[Fausbøll, Jåtaka, vol. VI, p. 585]<br />
If you know anyth<strong>in</strong>g of these the royal children, tell,<br />
As a physician tries to make a man with snake-bite well."<br />
The k<strong>in</strong>g said:<br />
"Both Jāli <strong>and</strong> Kaṇhāj<strong>in</strong>ā, your children, now are bought:<br />
I paid the brahm<strong>in</strong>: therefore be consoled, my son, fear nought."<br />
The Great Be<strong>in</strong>g was consoled to hear this, <strong>and</strong> conversed pleasantly with his father.<br />
"I hope, dear father, you are well, <strong>and</strong> trouble comes no more,<br />
And that my mother does not weep until her eyes are sore."<br />
The k<strong>in</strong>g replied:<br />
"Thank you, my son, I am quite well, <strong>and</strong> trouble comes no more,<br />
So too your mother does not weep until her eyes are sore."<br />
The Great Be<strong>in</strong>g said:<br />
"I hope the k<strong>in</strong>gdom all is well, the countryside at peace,<br />
The animals all strong to work, the ra<strong>in</strong> clouds do not cease."<br />
The k<strong>in</strong>g replied:<br />
"O yes, the k<strong>in</strong>gdom all is well, the countryside at peace,<br />
The animals all strong to work, the ra<strong>in</strong> clouds do not cease."<br />
As they thus talked together, Queen Phusatī, feel<strong>in</strong>g sure that they must be all relieved<br />
from anxiety, came to her son with a great company.
