Quite a while back, there was a ruler in this world with the name of Great Vehicle. He controlled over almost five thousand vassals and had three children, the eldest of whom was called Great Sound, the center, Great Deity and the most youthful, Great Sentient Being. From youth the most youthful child was of an adoring and empathetic nature. To everybody he resembled a dearest child. One time, the ruler went outside for a walk together with his clergymen, his ruler and his children. At that point, while they rested a short time, the three children walked around the forested areas. They saw a tigress who had brought forth offspring and was so depleted by days of yearning and thirst that she was nearly eating her young. The most youthful sovereign said to his two senior siblings, "This frail and small tigress is at the edge of death, and enduring with the goal that she would even want to eat her own particular posterity." When the more youthful sibling asked his two senior siblings: "What does the tigress eat?" the two senior siblings answered, "She eats newly slaughtered meat and beverages blood." Then he stated: "Who has such quality that they would not to neglect to spare her life by giving her these things?" The two siblings answered: "No one as it is to a great degree troublesome."
The more youthful sibling thought: "For quite a while I have been meandering in samsara squandering incalculable bodies and lives. I have surrendered my body now and again to want, in some cases to outrage and at times to obliviousness. What is the utilization of this body which for Dharma has not even once occupied with justify?" Once he had decided along these lines, the three had not strolled long together on their way back, when he said to his two senior siblings, "Both of you siblings proceed. I have a remark and might come later." Returning back along the way, he quickly came back to the refuge of the tigress and set down before her, yet the tigress couldn't chomp and eat. Immediately, the sovereign took a sharp branch and influenced blood to spill out of his body and let the tigress lick it. She at that point opened her mouth and totally ate up the substance of his body.
His two siblings sat tight for quite a while and still their more youthful sibling had not returned, so they came back to search for him. Considering the way he had talked, they felt that he had definitely sustained the tigress [with his body]. When they arrived and looked, they saw that he had been eaten by the tigress who was lying in his fragile living creature and blood, and they tumbled to the ground in a black out. Recovering cognizance before long, they cried and swooned once more.
Right then and there the ruler envisioned that three pigeons had been flying and playing, and that a bird of prey had gotten the most youthful. She woke up instantly and alarmed, told the ruler, "I have been informed that a pigeon is the spirit of a child. I envisioned that a bird of prey got the most youthful of three pigeons, so something disastrous has surely come upon the most adored of my children." Immediately he requested an intensive hunt and very little later, the two senior siblings returned. The ruler asked them, "Is there not a major issue with the most cherished of my children? What is it?" The two siblings' discourse floundered and for quite a while they couldn't breathe out and stayed stunned. When they at last inhaled out, they announced, "He was eaten by a tiger." When the ruler heard this she swooned, tumbling to the ground. A drawn-out period of time passed and when she recovered cognizance, the two children, the ruler and the whole company continued quickly to where the sovereign had terminated. They don't saw anything however bones and blood as the tigress had totally devoured the substance of the sovereign. The ruler held her head and the lord, holding her in his arms, sobbed and cried. He, as well, blacked out and it required a long investment till he recaptured awareness.
Having kicked the bucket in this place, the Prince Mahasattva was reawakened in the Tushita domain of divine beings. He pondered, "Through what positive activity was I conceived here?" and began to look with his awesome eye through each of the five domains. In a woodland, he saw the bones he had deserted, which were encompassed by his folks who, out of their extraordinary love for their child, were overloaded by incredible misery. He thought, "When my folks are so miserable, deterrents will be made for their body and life. I might go and console them."
He plummeted from paradise and consoled his folks with numerous lovely words from the sky above. The guardians gazed upward into the sky and stated: "Deva, disclose to us your identity!" The god stated: "I was your child Mahasattva." Having sustained the tigress with my body, I was conceived in the Tushita domain of divine beings. Extraordinary King, know this! Whatever has appeared will meet with demolition at last. At the point when there is emerging, there is surely obliteration. On the off chance that they take part in negative activities, aware creatures will fall into damnation. On the off chance that they take part in upright ones, they will take resurrection in the higher domains. Emerging and decimation influences everything. Why at that point would you say you are encountering a sea of anguish as a result of me? Take a stab at ideals!"
His folks stated, "Out of extraordinary empathy you gave your body to the tigress. In the event that you have love and sympathy for everybody, extend it likewise to us! When we consider you, your passing causes us such pain, similarly as though our substance were being cut, so ought not you, incredible Compassionate One, avoid acting towards us like that?" Again the god appeased and empowered his folks with numerous charming words. Being somewhat ameliorated, they influenced a coffin of seven valuable gems, to put his bones inside and covered it. Above they raised a stupa.
