| a1 | "(Are they really not desirous to come together with me)? |
|---|
| a1 | Now in order to be (loved) here, through other streets I will try to [get to] know the cause of the fact that the streets in [great] number are empty." |
|---|
| a1+ | Thereupon Supriya sought from the king the permission to go by other streets. |
|---|
| a2 | Here he [= the king] asked Supriya: |
|---|
| a2 | "Why, oh noble one, are you so distracted? |
|---|
| a2 | Have you, by chance, had anything happening to you that is not suitable to your mind? |
|---|
| a2+ | Tell it to me!" |
|---|
| a3 | Thereupon Supriya says to the king: |
|---|
| a3 | “Everything suits me on the part of the lord. |
|---|
| a3 | I am desirous to see living beings: |
|---|
| a3+ | This does not presuppose in any way pleasure for myself. |
|---|
| a4 | I have expressed [lit. made] the wish towards the lord to go through the[se] streets.” |
|---|
| a4 | The king says: |
|---|
| a4 | “In every way, this will suit (me).” |
|---|
| a4+ | Thereupon Supriya goes through the streets. |
|---|
| a5 | Then some people from this city peered only through [small] gaps [in the window/door coverings], |
|---|
| a5 | but did not go outside. |
|---|
| a5 | Thereupon Supriya went back to the king. |
|---|
| a5+ | Then he says: |
|---|
| a6 | in [the tune] bahupayik: |
|---|
| a6 | “Will the great king consent to explain this fact completely what is the cause here? |
|---|
| a6 | By the pain of hunger, they have been terribly stricken; |
|---|
| a6+ | this has left them. |
|---|
| b1 | But why now have these streets become empty as it were in the guise of [being] without life? |
|---|
| b1 | [Why], having solidly barred the doors, do they peer only from the gaps, |
|---|
| b1 | and do not go outside?” |
|---|
| b1+ | First of all I [politely] submit this wish in person to the lord straight away: |
|---|
| b2 | I wish to see these living beings enjoying happiness [and being] well alive. |
|---|
| b2+ | By seing them, may I obtain the joy being also myself in the power of sweet happiness. |
|---|
| b3+ | By all means this seeing of pain [that involved] aversion has been nevertheless with some fruit for me. |
|---|
| b4 | 2. |
|---|
| b4 | Thereupon the king, looking at Supriya with love, makes [a thought] in his mind: |
|---|
| b4 | "I have now obtained an opportunity to speak. |
|---|
| b4+ | I will make [him] know the urgent pain of the beings. |
|---|
| b5 | Certainly, (inside) under the power of this one the present grief of this country will disappear completely". |
|---|
| b5+ | Then the king with veneration says to Supriya: |
|---|
| b6 | in [the tune] pañcama: |
|---|
| b6 | “The beings who [are] thieves, miserables, outlaws, murderers have disturbed the spirit of the country, being in conflict with [their] lord.” |
