cacāra bhikṣā sa tu bhikṣuvaryo nidhāya gātrāṇi cala ca cetaḥ || 10.13
13. With unrestless eyes, seeing only a yoke’s length before him, 1 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.
ādāya bhaikṣa ca yathopapanna yayau gireḥ prasravaṇa viviktam |
nyāyena tatrābhyavahtya cainanmahīdhara pāḍavamāruroha || 10.14
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. 2

kāṣāyavāsāḥ sa babhau nsūryo yathodayasyopari bālasūryaḥ || 10.15
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.
tatraivamālokya sa rājabhtyaḥ śreṇyāya rājñe kathayā cakāra |
saśrutya rājā sa ca bāhumānyāttatra pratasthe nibhtānuyātraḥ || 10.16
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.

maulīdharaḥ sihagatirnsihaścalatsaṭaḥ siha ivāruroha || 10.17
17. He who was like the Pāṇḍavas in heroism, and like a mountain in stature, ascended
Pāṇḍava, that noblest of mountains, — a crown-wearer, of lion-like gait, a lion among
men, as a maned lion ascends a mountain.
calasya tasyopari śgabhūta śātedriya paśyati bodhisattvam |
paryakamāsthāya virocamāna śaśākamudyatamivābhrakūṭāt || 10.18
18. There he beheld the Bodhisattva, resplendent as he sat on his hams, with subdued
senses, as if the mountain were moving, 3 and he himself were a peak thereof, — like
the moon rising from the top of a cloud.
1 Hardy explains this ‘he does not look before him further than the distance of a plough of nine
spans’ (Manual of Buddhism, p. 371).
2 Cf. Lalitavistara.
3 I.e. as if he, not the mountain, were entitled to the name acala.
