अतः सुपुष्पचन्द्रेण जानतापि नृपापदम्। आत्मदुःखं न निहतं बहूनां दुःखिनां व्ययात्॥
དེས་ན་མེ་ཏོག་ཟླ་མཛེས་ཀྱིས། །
རྒྱལ་པོའི་གནོད་པ་ཤེས་ཀྱང་ནི། ། བདག་གི་སྡུག་བསྔལ་མ་བསལ་ཏེ། །
མང་པོའི་སྡུག་བསྔལ་ཟད་འགྱུར་ཕྱིར། །Thus Supuṣhpachandra,99The Bodhisattva Supuṣhpachandra was forbidden by the king Shūradatta to teach the Dharma on pain of death. Knowing, however, that many would benefit from his teaching, Supuṣhpachandra disobeyed and went cheerfully to his execution. The story is found in the Samādhirāja-sūtra.
Knowing that the king would cause him harm, Did nothing to escape from tribulation,
That the pains of many should be ended.
C’est pourquoi, bien que sachant ce que le roi
Lui ferait subir, Supushpachandra Ne s’épargna point cette souffrance
Pour épuiser celle du grand nombre.
Por eso Supuspachandra112Al bodisatva Supuspachandra, el rey Suradata le había prohibido que enseñase el darma y lo había amenazado con ejecutarlo si lo hacía. Sin embargo, como sabía que innumerables seres se beneficiarían de sus enseñanzas, Supushachandra lo desobedeció y fue con alegría a su ejecución. Esta historia se narra en el Sutra Samadiraja.,
aunque sabía que el rey lo mortificaría, no evitó su propio sufrimiento
a fin de que terminase el sufrimiento de muchos.
Even though Supuspa Chandra
Knew the suffering caused by the king, He did not eliminate his own suffering,
In order to exhaust the suffering of many.
Therefore, Bodhisattva Supusha Chandra
Although realizing the king would harm him, Did not dispel his own suffering
In order to exhaust the suffering of many others.[p.300]A Commentary on Shantideva's Engaging in the Conduct of the BodhisattvasGyaltsen, Lama Kalsang, and Ani Kunga Chodron, trans.
