Buddha-carita, or Life of Buddha - 220 131. ‘He is the best of all guides of men, no other being is like unto him; he is like a jewel, of imperishable glory, who hears this Law with a pure heart. 132. ‘Therefore let those who are endowed with lofty ambitions, always hear this Law which causes transcendent merit; let them hear it and gladly welcome it and lay it up in their minds and continually worship the three jewels with faith.’
Buddha-carita, or Life of Buddha - 221 Book XVII [The Progress to Lumbinī] of The Buddha- 1. When the heavenly beings with Brahman at their head and the Bodhisattvas intent on self-mortification heard this glorification of the Law uttered by the lion of the Śākyas, they were desirous to hear again this which is so difficult to find, and they went to the city and worshipped him, propitiating his favour; in the dark fortnight of the month Aṣaḍha on the lunar day sacred to Agni, with the moon in the constellation called Karṇa () and on an auspicious day, – he, remembering the Buddha worlds and being desirous to save all creatures, set off on his journey, longing for disciples with his father at their head. 2. The associated Brāhmans, accompanied by the inhabitants of Kāśī who had gone to the Deer Park, and the mendicants to the number of thirty, were rendered resplendent by the chief of saints; Kāśikā the harlot of Kāśī went to the heaven of the gods, after she had worshipped the Jina and attached her sons to the service of the glorious one; the conqueror of the world then made thirty rejoicing officiating priests of Kāśī his disciples, initiating them in the course of perfect wisdom; and the son of Maitrāyaṇī and Maitra, the preceptor of hosts of the twice-born, named Pūrṇa, obtained true wisdom from the chief of saints and became a noble mendicant.
