I, 3.
LIVING IN THE PALACE.
21
So too countless hidden treasures came of themselves from the earth. From the midst of the pure snowy mountains, a wild herd of white elephants, 129
Without noise, of themselves, came; not curbed by any, self-subdued, every kind of colour'd 1 horse, in shape and quality surpassingly excellent, 130
With sparkling jewelled manes and flowing tails, came prancing round, as if with wings; these too, born in the desert, came at the right time, of themselves. 131
A (herd of) pure-colour'd, well-proportioned cows, fat and fleshy, and remarkable for beauty, giving fragrant and pure milk with equal flow, came together in great number at this propitious time: 132
Enmity and envy gave way to peace; content and rest prevailed on every side, whilst there was closer union amongst the true of heart, discord and variance were entirely appeased; 133
The gentle air distilled a seasonable rain, no crash of storm or tempest was heard, the springing seeds, not waiting for their time, grew up apace and yielded abundant increase; 134
The five cereals grew ripe with scented grain, soft and glutinous, easy of digestion; all creatures big with young, possessed their bodies in ease and their frames well-gathered; 135
All men, even those who had not received the seeds of instruction derived from the four holy
convocation of the Arhats at Vaisâlt is called 'tsah ;'a miscellaneous collection of anecdotes or tales is called by the same name.
Or, every kind of party-colour'd horse. ? Like the clouds.
