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

Buddha-carita, or The Life of Buddha - 26
muktaśca durbhikṣabhayāmayebhyo hṣṭo janaḥ svargamivābhireme |
patnī patirvā mahiṣī pati vā paraspara na vyabhiceratuśca || 2.13
13. The people, delivered from famine, fear, and sickness, dwelt happily as in heaven;
and in mutual contentment husband transgressed not against wife, nor wife against
husband.
kaścitsiṣeve rataye na kāma kāmārthamartha na jugopa kaścit |
kaściddhanārtha na cacāra dharma dharmāya kaścinna cakāra hisām || 2.14
14. None pursued love for mere sensual pleasure; none hoarded wealth for the sake of
desires; none practised religious duties for the sake of gaining wealth; none injured
living beings for the sake of religious duty.
steyādibhiścāpyabhitaśca naṣṭa svastha svacakra paracakramuktam |
kṣema subhikṣa ca babhūva tasya purāṇyaraṇyāni yathaiva rāṣṭre || 2.15
15. On every side theft and its kindred vices disappeared; his own dominion was in
peace and at rest from foreign interference; 1 prosperity and plenty belonged to him,
and the cities in his realm were (healthy) like the forests. 2
tadā hi tajjanmani tasya rājño manorivādityasutasya rājye |
cacāra harṣaḥ praṇanāśa pāpmā jajvāla dharmaḥ kaluṣaḥ śaśāma || 2.16
16. When that son was born it was in that monarch’s kingdom as in the reign of Manu
the son of the Sun, — gladness went everywhere and evil perished; right blazed abroad
and sin was still.
evavidhā rājasutasya tasya sarvārthasiddhiśca yato babhūva |
tato npastasya sutasya nāma sarvārthasiddho ’yamiti pracakre || 2.17
17. Since at the birth of this son of the king such a universal accomplishment of all
objects took place, the king in consequence caused the prince’s name to be
Sarvārthasiddha. 3
devī tu māyā vibudharṣikalpa dṣṭvā viśāla tanayaprabhāvam |
jāta praharṣa na śaśāka soḍhu tato ’vināśāya diva jagāma || 2.18
18. But the queen Māyā, having seen the great glory of her new-born son, like some
Ṛṣi of the gods, could not sustain the joy which it brought; and that she might not die
she went to heaven.
1 The Tibetan seems to have read paraśokamuktam for paracakramuktam.
2 Cf. VIII, 13. If we read araṇyasya we must translate these lines, ‘the cities in his kingdom
seemed part of the forest champaign.’ This line appears to be untranslated in the Tibetan.
3 He by whom all objects are accomplished.
