Translation
(continues from A 79)
| a1 | ... we carry high. 1. Indra says: I will go close to him |
|---|---|
| a1+ | [and] I will do such effort, that he again, as before, (will be in possession of his tusks.) |
| a2 | (The god) says: this was precisely our wish. |
| a2+ | Thereupon Indra disappeared into the air space, [and,] (appearing) before the Bodhisattva, (he says:) |
| a3 | Oh lord of elephants, indeed a thing extremely hard to do you have done. |
| a3+ | Has there been, by any chance, satisfaction for you (in) this (pain of ripping out) your veins, sinews, [your] flesh [and your] tusks? |
| a4 | The Bodhisattva says: |
| a4+ | By no means has there been [satisfaction] for me, because I remember the pains of the hell inhabitants. |
| a5 | (it was my) wish (to do others good). For without doing good to others, there is no Buddha-hood. How then should I have gained satisfaction from [my] own pain? |
| a5+ | Indra (says:) ... |
| a6 | Unbelievable is this matter. Therefore you shall let us see one believable matter. The elephant says: |
| a6+ | See, oh king of gods! ... |
| b1 | ... my sinews, veins [and] teeth, being ripped out, (my spirit and my) mind will not be satiated by pain except by the pain the hell-inhabitants have to endure. |
| b2 | If I (through precisely this) truth should certainly achieve the dignity of Buddha, [then] the six tusks should appear for me at once in full, just like before. |
| b3 | (Him having said this), immediately the six tusks, like a triple crescent of the moon, were visible to him in one row. |
| b3+ | When they saw this, on earth (and in the air space among humans and gods) great joy rose up. |
| b4+ | Thereupon Indra, having recognized the good creature as one certainly to arise as a Buddha, says ... to the Bodhisattva: |
| b5+ | Oh [you], who have every good quality, I see (you) as one adorned and decorated with the 32 marks, [as one] (certainly achieving) the dignity of Buddha. |
| b6 | When you have achieved the dignity of Buddha, may you remember me as well. Having spoken thus, Indra disappeared right there. |

Other
| a1 | I will go to him and I will make effort so that again … [his] former … (Peyrot 2013b: 623) |
|---|---|
| a5 | How could I have had satisfaction from my own sorrow? (Peyrot 2013b: 274) |
| b1+ | Nor does life in the forest seem to me such a hardship, my lord. (Peyrot 2013b: 275) |
| b3+ | Als sie das sahen, erhob sich auf der Erde [und] (im Luftraum bei Göttern [und] Menschen) große Freude. (Schmidt 1974: 75) |
| b6 | Wenn du die Buddhawürde erlangt hast, mögest du dich auch meiner erinnern. (Schmidt 1974: 375) |
Commentary
Remarks
| Transcription and translation are based on Carling et al. 2009. | |
| Transcription and references have been transferred from the "Text and Reference Database of the Tocharian A Language" (Gerd Carling Lund University) (funded by the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation and SCAS). | |
| This text continues from A 79 and continues on A 77. |
Philological commentary
| The translation is largely based on Sieg 1952: 14-15, and Carling et al. 2009. | |
| n1 | The gap at the beginning of this line must have contained the name of a tune of 4x18 syllables, rhythm 7/7/4. |
Linguistic commentary
| n2 | Couvreur 1954b: 259 suggests to translate treyo mañis krorr oki rather as “the crescent of the triple moon”. |
