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

Buddha-carita, or The Life of Buddha - 171
bhūtvāpare vāridharā vhataḥ savidyutaḥ sāśanicaḍaghoṣāḥ |
tasmin drume tatyajuraśmavarṣa tatpuṣpavarṣa rucira babhūva || 13.45
45. Others, having become great clouds, emitting lightning and uttering the fierce roar
of thunderbolts, poured a shower of stones upon that tree, — but it turned to a pleasant
shower of flowers.
cāpe ’tha vāṇo nihito ’pareṇa jajvāla tatraiva na niṣpapāta |
anīśvarasyātmani dhūryamāṇo durmarṣaṇasyeva narasya manyuḥ || 13.46
46. Another set an arrow in his bow, — there it gleamed but it did not issue forth, like
the anger which falls slack 1 in the soul of an ill-tempered impotent man.
paceṣavo ’nyena tu vipramuktāstasthurnayatyeva munau na petuḥ |
sasārabhīrorviṣayapravttau pacedriyāṇīva parīkṣakasya || 13.47
47. But five arrows shot by another stood motionless and fell not, through the saint’s
ruling guidance, — like the five senses of him who is well experienced in the course of
worldly objects and is afraid of embodied existence.
jighāsayānyaḥ prasasāra ruṣṭo gadā ghītvābhimukho mahārṣeḥ |
so ’prāptakālo vivaśaḥ papāta doṣeṣvivānarthakareṣu lokaḥ || 13.48
48. Another, full of anger, rushed towards the great saint, having seized a club with a
desire to smite him; but he fell powerless without finding an opportunity, like
mankind in the presence of faults which cause failure. 2
strī meghakālī tu kapālahastā kartu mahārṣeḥ kila mohacittam |
babhrāma tatrāniyata na tasthau calātmano buddhirivāgameṣu || 13.49
49. But a woman named Meghakālī, bearing a skull in her hand, in order to infatuate
the mind of the sage, flitted about unsettled and stayed not in one spot, like the mind
of the fickle student over the sacred texts.
kaścitpradīpta praṇidhāya cakṣurnetrāgnināśīviṣavaddidhakṣuḥ |
tatraiva nāsīttamṣi dadarśa kāmātmakaḥ śreya ivopadiṣṭam || 13.50
50. Another, fixing a kindling eye, wished to burn him with the fire of his glance like
a poisonous serpent; but he saw the sage and lo! he was not there, like the votary of
pleasure when true happiness is pointed out to him. 3
