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

Buddha-carita, or The Life of Buddha - 33
rirakṣiṣataḥ śriyamātmasasthā rakṣati putrān bhuvi bhūmipālāḥ |
putra naredraḥ sa tu dharmakāmo rarakṣa dharmādviṣayeṣvamucat || 2.55
55. The prudent 1 kings of the earth, who wish to guard their prosperity, watch over
their sons in the world; but this king, though loving religion, kept his son from
religion and set him free towards all objects of pleasure.
vanamanupamasattvā bodhisattvāstu sarve
viṣayasukharasajñā jagmurutpannaputrāḥ | 2.56
56. ata upacitakarmā rūḍhamūle ’pi hetau
sa ratimupasiṣeve bodhimāpannayāvat ||
But all Bodhisattvas, those beings of pre-eminent nature, after knowing the flavour of
worldly enjoyments, have departed to the forest as soon as a son is born to them;
therefore he too, though he had accomplished all his previous destiny, even when the
(final) motive had begun to germinate, still went on pursuing worldly pleasure up to
the time of attaining the supreme wisdom.
iti śrībuddhacarite mahākāvye ’ntaḥpuravihāro nāma dvitīyaḥ sargaḥ || 2 ||
[Such is the second chapter in the great poem Śri Buddhacarita,
called Life in the Palace]
1 Lit. ‘self-possessed,’ ātmasasthāḥ. Or should we read ātmasasthām, ‘wishing to keep their
prosperity their own’?
