Dasha-Shruta-Skandha Sutra
Those who are born as fierce sons and great mothers, until they are reborn as men, I will be a monk in their presence. Having understood the nature of living beings and non-living beings, and having attained the knowledge of good and bad karma, I will live by eating and drinking only what is wholesome and palatable, and by accepting only what is given. That is good.
I
Tenth Dasha
Thus, O Shraman, O Ayushman, I have explained the Dharma, and all that is included in it. And that which leads to detachment from the pleasures of the gods and humans, those pleasures of humans are to be abandoned, and even the pleasures of the gods are impermanent, non-eternal, unstable, and subject to change, and they are to be abandoned. There are fruits of this practice of austerity and discipline, and in the future, whoever is born as a fierce son or a great mother, until they are reborn as a man, I will be a monk in their presence. Having understood the nature of living beings and non-living beings, and having attained the knowledge of good and bad karma, I will live by eating and drinking only what is wholesome and palatable, and by accepting only what is given. That is good.
Word-by-Word Meaning: - O Ayushman, O Shraman, thus, certainly, I have explained the Dharma, and all that is included in it. And that which leads to detachment from the pleasures of the gods and humans, those pleasures of humans are to be abandoned, and even the pleasures of the gods are certainly impermanent, non-eternal, unstable, and subject to change, and they are to be abandoned. Therefore, if there are fruits of this practice of austerity and discipline, then in the future, whoever is born as a fierce son or a great mother, until they are reborn as a man, I will be a monk in their presence.
