The Buddha-Carita or The Life of Buddha by Ven. Aśvaghoṣa

Buddha-carita, or The Life of Buddha - 15
yadrājaśāstra bhguragirā vā na cakraturvaśakarāvṣī tau |
tayoḥ sutau tau ca sasarjatustatkālena śukraśca bhaspatiśca || 1.46 (1.41)
46. 1 ‘That royal law which neither Bhgu nor Agiras ever made, those two great seers
the founders of families, their two sons Śukra and Vhaspati left revealed at the end.
sārasvataścāpi jagāda naṣṭa veda punarya dadśurna pūrvam |
vyāsastathaina bahudhā cakāra na ya vaśiṣṭhaḥ ktavānaśaktiḥ || 1.47 (1.42)
47. ‘Yea, the son of Sarasvatī 2 I proclaimed that lost Veda which they had never seen
in former ages, — Vyāsa rehearsed that in many forms, which Vaśiṣṭha helpless could
not compile;
vālmīkinādaśca sasarja padya jagratha yanna cyavano mahārṣiḥ |
cikitsita yacca cakāra nātriḥ paścāttadātreya ṣirjagāda || 1.48 (1.43)
48. ‘The voice of Vālmīki uttered its poetry which the great seer Cyavana could not
compose; and that medicine which Atri never invented the wise son of Atri 3
proclaimed after him;
yacca dvijatva kuśiko na lebhe tadgādhanaḥ sūnuravāpa rājan |
velā samudre sagaraśca dadhre nekṣvākavo yā prathama babadhuḥ || 1.49
(1.44)
49. ‘That Brahmanhood which Kuśika never attained, — his son, O king, found out the
means to gain it; (so) Sagara made a bound for the ocean, which even the Ikṣvākus had
not fixed before him.
ācāryaka yogavidhau dvijānāmaprāptamanyairjanako jagāma |
khyātāni karmāṇi ca yāni śauraiḥ śūrādayasteṣvabalā babhūvuḥ || 1.50 (1.45)
50. ‘Janaka attained a power of instructing the twice-born in the rules of Yoga which
none other had ever reached; 4 and the famed feats of the grandson of Śūra 5 (Kriṣṇa)
Śūra and his peers were powerless to accomplish.
1 We learn from śloka (verse) 52 that this is a speech uttered by the Brahmans of the court.
2 The Viṣṇu Pur. (III,3) says that Sārasvata arranged the Vedas in the ninth age, as Vaśiṣṭa in
the eighth.
3 Ātreya is the proclaimer of the Caraka-sahitā.
4 Cf. Chandogya Upan. V, 3,7.
5 Read Śaureḥ for Śauraiḥ.
