Buddhacarita by Ven Asvaghosa - Ancient Buddhist Texts

Buddha-carita, or Life of Buddha - 125
13. With unrestless eyes, seeing only a yoke’s length before him, with
his voice hushed, and his walk slow and measured, he, the noblest of
mendicants, went begging alms, keeping his limbs and his wandering
thoughts under control.
14. Having received such alms as were offered, he retired to a lonely
cascade of the mountain; and having eaten it there in the fitting
manner, he ascended the mountain Pāṇḍava.
15. In that wood, thickly filled with lodhra trees, having its thickets
resonant with the notes of the peacocks, he the sun of mankind shone,
wearing his red dress, like the morning sun above the eastern
mountain.
16. That royal attendant, having thus watched him there, related it all
to the king Śreṇya; and the king, when he heard it, in his deep
veneration, started himself to go thither with a modest retinue.
17. He who was like the Pāṇḍavas in heroism, and like a mountain in
stature, ascended Pāṇḍava, that noblest of mountains, – a crownwearer,
of lion-like gait, a lion among men, as a maned lion ascends a
mountain.
18. There he beheld the Bodhisattva, resplendent as he sat on his
hams, with subdued senses, as if the mountain were moving, and he
himself were a peak thereof, – like the moon rising from the top of a
cloud.
