2AMITAYUR-DHYANA- SUTRA, THE StTRA OF THE MEDITATION ON AMITAYUS. MEDITATION ON BUDDHA AMITAYUS'. Part I. § I. Thus it was heard by me : At one time the Buddha dwelt in Ra^agr/ha, on the mountain Gr/dhraku/a, with a large assembly of Bhikshus and with thirty-two thousands of Bodhisattvas ; with Ma;7^ui-ri, Prince of the Law-, at the head of the assembly. { 2. At that time, in the great city of Ra^ag^'z'ha there was a prince, the heir-apparent, named A^ata5"atru. He listened to the wicked counsel of Devadatta and other friends and forcibly arrested Bimbisara his father, the king, and shut him up by himself in a room with seven walls, proclaiming to all the courtiers that no one should approach (the king). The chief consort of the king, Vaidehi by ^ Nanjio's Catalogue of Tripi/aka, No. 198; translated into Chinese a. d. 424, by Kalaya^as, a ^ramawa from India. ^ Sanskrit Kumarabhijta, ' prince ' or ' princely,' but Chinese has ' prince of the law ; ' according to the commentator, fC-ko, he was called so because he was (skilled in) converting men by (teaching) the Law. K'-k'6 seems to have understood that Ma«- gnsn was not a royal prince, but the name KumarabhCita was given him as an honorific title. Max I\I tiller, ' the prince ' (p. 350, vol. ii.

3i62 amitayur-dhyana-sOtra, §3. name, was true and faithful to her lord, the king. She supported him in this wise : having purified herself by bathing and washing, she anointed her body with honey and ghee mixed with corn-flour, and she concealed the juice of grapes in the various garlands she wore (in order to give him food without being noticed by the warder). As she stole in and made an offering to him, he was able to eat the flour and to drink the juice (of grapes). Then he called for water and rinsed his mouth. That done, the king stretched forth his folded hands towards the Mount Gr/dhraku/a and worshipped duly and respectfully the World- Honoured One, who at that time abode there. And he uttered the following prayer : ' Mahamaudgaly^yana is my friend and relative ; let him, I pray, feel compassion towards me, and come and communicate to me the eight prohibitive precepts ^ (of I5uddha).' On this, Mahamaudgalyayana at once appeared before the king, coming with a speed equal to the flight of a falcon or an eagle, and communicated to him the eight precepts. Day after day did he come. The World- Honoured One sent also his worthy disciple Piirwa to preach the Law to the king. Thus a period of three weeks passed by. The king showed by his countenance that he was happy and contented when he had an opportunity of hearing the Law as well as of enjoying the honey and flour. { 3. At that time, A^dta^atru asked the warder ' According lo ihc commentator, Slian-tao, ' killing, stealing, a 'ulicry, lying, drinking, applying ointment, &c., music, and using ornamented chairs, &c.'
